I loved the school because of its amazing teachers and academics! There was little to be desired after attending this school and I believe that I got a very well rounded education. There are so many opportunities to immerse yourself in at this high school!
Going to Howards Grove High School for these past 4 years has been such a great experience from me, but I also believe there are many things that should maybe be changed. I think for some people, the small size works great, however it can be different to find people who would fit in a social group with you, especially for non-white students. There are also many great teachers at Howards, however some, particularly in the Biology and Math department aren’t the greatest at teaching the material. However, 90% of them are great teachers!
Howards Grove has good education with an involved small community that also has great athletic programs.
I have attended the last 3 years at Howards Grove High school. It is great compared to other schools if you are looking for an easier time getting help with your classes. Instead of cramming 8 different classes together into a day they only do 4 a day. This makes each class longer for more time with the teacher or doing homework. Longer class time makes it easier for student-athletes so they don't have the stress of homework after their practice or games. I have attended both an 8 hour class day and this 4-day block schedule and would recommend this to anyone!
Most of the teachers here are amazing. They'll take time out of their days to help you with anything, even if it's not related to their class or school. They truly care about you and your education. Some teachers do not do this, but the ones that do make going here completely worth it. One thing I would change is the scheduling. This year we changed to an AB schedule, meaning we have 8 classes a semester (or a year) and they switch off daily. I much rather prefer block scheduling because the teachers are giving out hours of homework every day without realizing that we're also getting a huge workload from our other classes. However, the staff and students are generally positive and nice here. I appreciate what this school has done for me, and with only a couple small tweaks, this would be a perfect school.
Overall, Howards Grove High School was a great school for me to attend. Throughout my four years of education I had the opportunity to be involved in sports, clubs, honors, and extra curricular activities while holding a 3.7 GPA. I was in Student Council and I was also enrolled in National Honors Society. There are more clubs offered that I did not take part in; however, I know multiple students enjoyed these clubs. The sports at this school has held a big impact on my life. I learned many life skills and morals from them. I was fortunate to be apart of a State Volleyball Championship, and the support that the school brought was unreal. We had sold the most pre tickets than all the other teams in division four. This support would not come from our community without our Howards Grove School District's environment and culture. The school, staff, and community will forever hold a special spot in my heart, and I can not thank them enough for all of their help they have given me.
The teachers and staff were excellent! They provide many resources to challenge you both in academics and as a person.
I like the block system, it allows ampule time to complete homework and assignments. I do wish we had a broader range of classes offered. Each department has a very limited amount
I feel that Howards Grove High School was able to successfully prepare me for college and beyond. With a small student body, you are really able to form relationships with teachers. I feel that most of my teachers truly do care about their students' learning, and are willing to put in extra time to offer help when needed. The one drawback of a small school such as Howards Grove High School is the limited class selection. There are definitely more math and science courses - especially APs and CAPP - than there are classes in the humanities. However, the school does a good job of connecting students to local colleges or online courses for classes that Howards does not offer. Overall, my experience at Howards Grove High School was pretty good.
Much of the opinion of this school comes down to a department basis. I personally went through the biology department a lot, and I had great success and pleasure doing so.
My experience at Howards Grove High School has been great. The past year I had the opportunity to start taking classes at Lakeland University. I love that you know everyone. Recently the high school added a new auditorium onto our school. I like how our small division four school has grown the past four years I have attended this school. The past three years we had upgraded to new food service, we built in a school store, invested into hp streams for all the kids to use, bought all new tables for the lunch room, and renewed our library with new furniture and innovation room where groups can work. Our school is academically active with our grades. Our principal checks every student's grades for F's. If they have an F they will go to a study table to bump that grade back up. I love how Howards Grove High School has been constantly making changes for mine and other students academic career enhance.
It allowed me to pursue college level education while still in high school. I'm proud to be part of Howards Grove schools.
I like how small the classes are and how well education is taught. I wish the criteria was higher, and I wish there were more classes.
The teachers at Howards Grove High School have all been extremely helpful for all of the students futures. The best part about the staff at Howards Grove is that they are all super engaging and want to learn about each and every one of their students. They are always there to listen if you would be having a bad day, or need extra help on your homework. Mostly, they all respond to emails very quick and never fail to give you the advice that you need. Since it is such a small school, it allows the teachers to become this involved with all of their students and for me, that has been the biggest positive of attending Howards Grove High School.
Staff are very knowledgeable and there are a lot of opportunities to get college credits while in high school.
There are never concerns about safety at Howards Grove. Staff have procedures in place, students practice drills, there are random drug dog checks, this a very safe place. I am able to focus on learning without any concerns about being safe.
FFA, student council, fbla, drum line, are just a few of the outstanding opportunities for students after school. A lot of students participate and you can do multiple activities, you are not limited or excluded to what you can do.
