I really feel as if Elkhorn South takes pride in individual learning and success, and the counselors do a GREAT job of getting you on the right path for plans after school. I think we have some very good teachers, and great staff. There are a ton of extra curricular activities for all different areas of interest. For me the volleyball program has been like a second family, and has given me some of the best friendships I have had. I played basketball my first 2 years as well. The school spirit is unmatched through all the athletic activities. I love getting to be part of Junior Class Board and planning prom for our awesome seniors this year!
This school is very well worked and also keep the students busy. Countless times my schedule has been filled up with busy work and not true thing that I need to learn to go into college.
They have a very rigorous academic program; the school has lots of different programs and clubs to join.
I had a great experience attending Elkhorn South High School. The teachers were all helpful and enthusiastic to teach, the counselors were concerned with student success and well being, and the overall energy of the school is positive and welcoming. I could not have asked for a better high school experience.
Elkhorn south is a great high school full of students who strive to achieve their best and teachers who support students and push them to reach their goals. If there is one thing the school district can a improve on it is having more Socratic/discussion based classes to teach kids to compromise and problem solve through discussion. Overall, though, the staff trusty cares about the students. Graduates of this high school are prepared for college and other post graduate paths.
Going to this school really helped me to prepare for college! The teachers are incredibly kind and helpful, and I’ve made a lot of great friends here.
Elkhorn South is a great school with amazing staff. The only thing that takes away from its rating is some of the students. It is also not super diverse.
The teachers really do help you when you really on't understand anything. The counselors know you by name and gives great advice on college and high school in general.
The courses and tests are kind of hard, but they really challenge us to get good grades and be the best that we possibly can. My school averages very high scores on the ACT and other standardized tests. I would recommend going here because there are many different opportunities and classes to choose from to make a high school student feel like they belong.
Elkhorn served me well in academics. The teachers are all sociable and enjoy interacting with their students. Most of them will take extra time to get to know their classes and have more personal conversation with the kids who come through their doors. The curriculum was tough, but I came out of the district with more competency than most young adults.
My only complaint is that Elkhorn tends to be statistic heavy. They want good numbers for ACT scores and honors/AP courses, so they push that agenda on the students they see promise in. For those who don't fulfill that role, they greater administrative body pays little attention to them.

Elkhorn South High School is an overall average high school. However, I would like to see the budget for the arts program increase, since the arts program is a program that needs significant funding to be successful, and right now, the arts program is being looked over when it comes to the budget.
Very great school. It goes above and beyond to teach, and provides all the materials necessary to be a success!
Elkhorn South was a great high school. Clubs and athletics are great, while still providing an engaging academic environment.
It's a large school with a lot of opportunities to get involved. Teachers work hard to help each and every student. They work to make sure they are available when you need extra help. I've had a great time at ESHS!
Overall, the three years that I have attended Elkhorn South High School has been a very positive experience. The teachers do an outstanding job helping every single student excel in all of their classes, which is because they all are passionate about their job. The teachers at my school are always available to talk to and they make sure that every student feels welcomed. Elkhorn South has many extracurricular activities. Since there is such a variety of extracurricular activities it allows each student to be involved in something they enjoy doing. Our school spirit is indescribable. Many students show out to every sporting event and cheer on their classmates. There are so many great things about Elkhorn South and the community that I am surrounded by. I have loved my experience at Elkhorn South High School.
Wonderful school, Very academic with high standards to prepare you for college! Amazing staff and administration!
Many good teachers and I appreciated the focus on preparing for the ACT within the courses. I find that students considered the work rigorous enough to prepare them for college. However, I would disagree and say there is still a common discrepancy of workloads between high school and college work. However, it can still be rewarding to do well at this school. Many AP options are avaiable.
