Evergreen asks near-Lakeside money, $48,800 for grade 8 in 2026-27, for a school your child must leave at fourteen. That is not a criticism; it is the frame that makes the decision legible. You are buying three things. The first is an admissions gate: a 95th-percentile IQ score, kindergarten through 7th grade. The second is a philosophy of depth and breadth over grade-skipping, with narrative reports instead of letter grades. The third is an exit, a high-school counseling operation that has placed graduates at Lakeside, the Catholic and independent day schools, public International Baccalaureate (IB) programs, national boarding schools, and the University of Washington's Early Entrance Program. The honest comparison is not just other privates, because area districts run tuition-free highly capable cohorts for a similar profile (the Advanced Learning guide covers how those admit). Families who want visible acceleration, letter grades, and competition trophies should look closer. Families whose child clears the cognitive bar but is wilting socially in a conventional classroom are the ones this school was built for. And if your child is currently in grades 1–5 or 7, know before you fall in love: those grades open only when someone leaves.
