I have just finished my required courses to get into dental hygiene schools in Washington State and am wondering what schools are considered the best in the state. I’ve heard about Shoreline Community College’s and Lake Washington Technical College’s programs and heard they are good but I am looking for the school that is considered the best in the state. Any help is very much appreciated!

Take a look at Everest College in Tacoma, WA.

I was looking for the same thing in Texas… the best hyg school.
However, after going through the program, I realized that every school has to be accredited by the dental board and has to meet the same requirements. Every hygiene student has to take the exact same national board, and every student has to take their regional clinical board (usually at the same site with the same examiners). There are students that fail and pass from every single school all over the nation, not just your state.
I truly believe you should apply to each one, observe the clinics, and decide for yourself which one best fits you!
Good luck!
