Rating 4.23 out of 5 26 reviews
I enjoyed my high school experience at Shorewood, but I also know that my success and happiness have a lot to do with my race and interests. Shorewood is not at all diverse, mostly because the North Shore area of Milwaukee is predominantly white. I also have interests in music and the performing arts, and because of that, I was able to thrive in Shorewood's arts programs. However, they started to decline during Covid and now are just a fraction of what they once were when I started high school. Shorewood's campus and overall location is very safe. We are not at all good at sports and participation in sports teams is very low. Most of the teachers are good, and the school does a very adequate job of preparing you for college.
I've lived in Shorewood for a majority of my life, so to judge its entirety is vain. However, as I grew older I definitely felt more detached from the experience it gave me. While Shorewood's music/arts program (which is where I thrive) has always excelled, changing times and circumstances in the society around us caused the district–especially its students– to be less sensitive and participant in these activities. I've always felt that Shorewood has provided me with numerous opportunities; still, I feel it has debilitated my ability to exceed at my fullest. I don't think there are a lot of high schools around me that would have this ability, so it is not a specified criticism towards Shorewood; after all, my biggest problem was that I could not find the same passion and interest I had towards my studies. I find that most of my peers address more trendy and subjective interests which is often stemmed from the media. It's not Shorewood's responsibility, although Shorewood is full of it.
I transferred to Shorewood High School late last year, so I've been in virtual classes the whole time. The kids I've met are quite welcoming. For the most part the staff are very supportive, although they aren't as involved with the students as the teachers at my previous school. I find their STEM options lacking, but they offer plenty of classes for students who enjoy theater or art. The campus is huge for a high school, and their lunch hour is a full hour long. They have a lot of clubs, and they have some amazing travel opportunities. Their typically Model UN goes to Boston annually, and French students have the opportunity to travel to a variety of French speaking countries. Since I'm so new and I've only had the opportunity to attend virtually, that's about all I can say with any degree of confidence.
