Reagan High has been my home for the past four years. My school has allowed be to develop as a student, an artist, and a person through the education and social envioment created by the staff and educators. It is generally very accepting and a kind community, but like a communities there is issues that need to be solved. I have found through the rigorous courses the students sometimes get lost in the work. Additionally, there is some problems with the proportion of students of color to staff of color. We have a very diverse student body, which I feel is not represented in the staff.
Besides that, I feel I had a positive experience at Reagan. I generally felt safe and comfortable in the schools environment at my time here.

Reagan is a highly competitive school with a regular education and an International Baccalaureate curriculum. I have enjoyed the challenges that have been presented to me through the efforts of my teachers to give me a deep dive into the content of each subject. I was allowed to work toward my strengths, but also supported to improve my areas of struggle. The school body is a very diverse one, and that is another strength of my school.
I think that my most memorable moments at Reagan have been my participation in both the Link Crew for incoming 9th grade orientation and Forensics. Link Crew has allowed me to grow in my ability to interact with strangers and make them my friends. This has been difficult at times, but this opportunity was a very rewarding one for the last two years. Forensics has been the most rewarding experience in High School. I have been able to compete at the local, state and national levels.

The school has a lot of young teachers which makes it very easy to get along with and learn form. I enjoy the morning announcements and listening to all of the senior scholarship awards. Reagan has a great amount of after school activities, specifically sports along with very evolved coaches who care about out futures both academically and athletically. The school also included a great amount of celebration of different cultures. They do this by having multiple clubs a student can join to celebrate and support a specific culture.
Reagan has given me so many opportunities as a student. I have been able to study things that I am specifically interested in, create strong bonds with my teachers, and even participate in sports and clubs that were a major part of my everyday life in school. Reagan gives its students many ways to voice their opinions and always focuses on putting students first. Attending this school has been one of the best decisions of my life. The experiences that I've had here and the relationships that I've formed with people are to be remembered for the rest of my life.
Reagan has granted me many opportunities I could have never imagined. By taking the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme, I have learned so much and have increased my critical thinking skills dramatically. I have made many great friends, and have learned the value of hard work. If you are considering Reagan as a school, I would say go for it, you will not regret it, and you have the chance to gain college credits before you even enter the college application process.
I liked going to Reagan, I made lots of friends, I got an unweighted 3.4 GPA. I feel like I was educated very well. I Now go to Marquette University. I think that Reagan has prepared me for College to an extent. I can write essays but I was not prepared to learn 12 chapters in 4 months which I think I could have been prepared for more. I feel like they babied us a bit with the workload, at least the type of workload.
After being there for 4 years, I've gotten the pleasure to meet all the faculty there. They are all great people that care for their students, not only for their grades but their well-being as a whole. Academically is a relatively good school that gave me a good base for college.
As far as academics, this school is great. DO NOT ATTEND if you cannot handle hard classes. This school is known for excelling in academic categories. I personally liked the school, and did very well in it. Sports however, are not all that great. Another thing, the school culture here is not that good. Depending what academic program you choose your junior year, people will look at you different. I went full IB, so people automatically think youre super smart and want to go to college. However, if you choose Course Certificate, people will think you don't want to go to college or that you are not smart because you chose not to take the IB exams at the end of the term. But overall, great school. I got into all the colleges I applied for and I am currently enrolled in Howard University, class of 2025!
Though I like the school very much throughout the school year it was very stressing at times. The school tried it’s best to make people feel included, make sure they had the help they needed, and has lots of clubs.
The students at Reagan lack mental health stability, and are constantly pushing teachers, and administration to take action. In order for us to change anything in the school in order to cater more to students crucial needs, we are grilled by teachers; it's like pulling. The reason why I said average and not poor is because I know that a lot of things are in the hands of the district, but I do believe that there is a lot that we as a school can do but are not.
My favorite thing about Reagan would have to be the students motivation to want to succeed in life. I think that that is what kept me going. When you're in an environment where everyone wants to succeed, it rubs off on you.

Reagan has gotten me ready for college very well. They offer several options in both classes to attend there, as well as options to gain credits early. Although the classes can be rather difficult, I do feel adequately prepared for college once I officially start attending come fall.
The teachers challenge you to do your best. They offer great programs. Help you get ready for college
Over all, Ronald Reagan college preparatory high school is a good school to go to. There are many activities and celebratory programs for culture which is welcoming to incoming freshman. The level of college readiness we as students acquire is very high especially due to the rigorous academic programs. If i were to pick a high school that would make me feel involved, challenged, supported I would choose this school all over again.
Reagan is a very good school. Our academics are some of the best in the state. The teachers sre here for you every step of the way. You can also choose to try and get your Ib diploma.
Great Staff
All of the workers were caring and supportive. If you need something just email your counselor and they will get back at you within 1-3 days. The principal will be outside waiving everyone goodbye when school is over, and drinking coffee when everyone is arriving.

I felt very prepared when I went to college thanks to the preparation we had throughout the years. However, I wish there were more options in regards to clubs and the courses we could take.
Currently now a senior. I enjoyed my experiences at this high school so far and it has prepared me for the future.
