First of all, Bellevue isn't in Seattle, Bellevue is it's own city. You have to attend the district in which you live anyway, it isn't up to you.

Well, probably the best school in the area is Lakside, in Shoreline. It's private. Bellevue and Northshore school districts are good, as is Mercer Island school district. I recommend looking at the districts and schools in the Seattle times school guide, here: http://community.seattletimes.nwsource.com/schoolguide/ In general, you'll find that the schools with the better scores and lower number of reduced and free lunches are usually in better neighborhoods with less violence. Just keep in mind that you can get a good education at an "OK" school, you can have great teachers at schools that don't rank highly here, and you can always have an awful teacher at the "best" school. So much depends on the kid and the relationship with the teacher.

Well Northshore is an excellent district.. But if you are looking into a private school in Seattle, or relatively nearby, look into Seattle Academy, it is a private, academically strong 1A school. If you are looking for a public school in the Kirkland/Bellevue area, look into Lake Washington, Bellevue, Interlake, or Lake Sammamish. Interlake and Bellevue are the "better" of those schools in that district... If you are looking into the Northshore district, Bothell, Woodinville, and Inglemoor would be your best options for public school. But if you are looking in the area of Christian/Religious schools, Kings (in Shoreline), Bellevue Christian (Bellevue/Medina), Eastside Catholic (Renton-ish), and Cedar Park Christian (Bothell) would be good options for you. All the former private schools have strong academics and are all 1A schools, except for Eastside Catholic, which is a 3A. The schools in the Northshore district are all 4A schools with fairly strong academics. Bothell is however known as the "sex school", and Woodinville is known as "the pharmacy", and Inglemoor is a combination of both. Good luck deciding. Take care.
