Renaissance High School has good qualities, but like every other school, it could use improvement in certain areas. I will talk about things that I personally wished would change, and to end this review on a positive note, I will discuss the school's negatives first.
Personally, I feel that Renaissance's school lunches were lacking in amount and nutritional value. I also disliked that although Covid-19 took a year of in-person learning from us, we were still required to complete 200 hours of community service. These criticisms are my personal opinion and may come off as trivial.
What I like about Renaissance is that overall, the teachers are pretty good. Even the teachers that don't teach well have redeeming qualities such as likable personalities. Another good quality: I didn't realize how grateful I should be that this school prepared me for college readiness till I realized that many high schools offer little to no help with these matters at all.

I really loved Renaissance High School. The teachers are really open and this school has so many opportunities. It’s not perfect but I don’t regret attending.
They have so many clubs and organizations for every one. From the christian club to the LGBTQ club. They make everyone feel welcome. I will admit we have our conflicts between the administration and students, but it brings our students to come together and fight for what we believe in. The counselors barely even help the students but on the positive side the students - the upper class men - help other students instead.
On the academics side, I would say it all depends on the teacher. Most teachers I’ve had really knew how to taught and I am so grateful for those teachers. I’m a hands on learner, so I worked well with teachers who interacts with the class and don’t just give work 24/7. Even though I’m not of high school, I feel that this school is preparing me for college.

Overall average school with harsh workload. The self teaching requirements prepare for college. When it comes to staff the school is a bit lackluster as they carry a few issues. They are self centered and hardly care about the students at all. There are few teachers who actually try to help students versus making them learn on their own completely and call it college prep. Other than that, sport involvement is great for the big two, football and basketball. Volleyball, exports, and other clubs are typically overlooked.
