Yakima Valley Doesn’t Make the Top 100 High Schools in Washington State

Niche recently released a list of Washington state's top 100 high schools, based on several stats -- including academics and overall school experience for students. But no schools in the Yakima Valley made the cut.

The closest we got was Hanford High School in Richland, coming in at 33rd.

Bellevue's International School comes in at the No. 1 position as well as many schools in the Seattle school district. I wonder what those schools are doing that the Yakima school district may benefit from?

Why do you think none of our local area schools were in the top 100? Post your reasons in the comments.

If you're curious to see the rest of the list, you can find it on the Niche website.
