We just went pending on a house in Sammamish that is districted to Creekside Elementary, Pine Lake Middle, and Skyline High. The commute is about 20-25 minutes to downtown. My husband agrees that it is worth it given the quality of life out in Sammamish.

When we were looking at schools, we were told that if you go with Issaquah, make sure your high school is either Skyline or Issaquah and not Liberty.

Other than that, it doesn't appear you can really go wrong in the ISD. We are super excited to move into our new house and learn more about the schools and community!
You didn't happen to buy a house on 29th St did you?? My neighbor's house just sold!! We love Creekside!
