The Issaquah School District has declared the construction of a new high school as the sole viable solution to the overcrowding crisis at Skyline High School. With enrollment figures significantly exceeding acceptable levels, the district is proactively addressing the need for balanced student populations across its high schools, targeting a capacity of 1,400 to 1,600 students per school. This decision has garnered support from various stakeholders who recognize the urgent requirement for additional educational facilities. The district plans to involve the community in discussions to gather input and ensure the project meets local needs. Through this initiative, the district demonstrates its commitment to high-quality education and effective resource management, while also highlighting the challenges of accommodating growing student populations.

As plans progress, the district remains focused on transparency and collaboration with the community.
