Senior: West De Pere High School is a very good school that changes to fit the needs of students. During the pandemic, this school was very quick to make decisions about online learning and encouraging students to attend every day. Teachers at West De Pere also talk about modern issues in today's world, and they encourage students to start meaningful conversations about a topic. The administrators are excellent are enforcing school rules. One thing that could be improved at West De Pere is the lunch options they provide for their students. The lunch options are very limited and the students get food in very small portions.... Read 87 reviews

Senior: The education is high quality, especially with the IB Diploma Programme. There are no AP classes but I would argue IB is superior. Most sports teams are very, very good, especially basketball, hockey, soccer, and cross country, with frequent state appearances. They also have strong theater and music opportunities. A major issue for students of the school is excessive discipline on the part of the administration. Disproportionate punishments for minor rule infractions are common and often distracting from actual education. The administration also has a history of being restrictive towards extracurricular or student initiatives, limiting opportunities for students to pursue their own interests within the context of the school. The teachers, however, are excellent and arguably the school's greatest strength. Though not all are created equal, the teachers have consistently been a highlight, creatively engaging and supporting students at all stages of their academic development.... Read 196 reviews

Senior: Bay Port High School offers an immense amount of opportunity's through a wide range of curriculums, clubs, resources, athletics, and even a $2.8 million dollar weight room! Bay Port provides endless resources so students can achieve any dream they envision. Because of Bay Ports strong financial backing, BP has maintained a safe and healthy environment for students and staff. I say with full confidence that BP teachers are making strong positive impacts that students will remember for a lifetime. However, as someone who transferred schools freshman year I observed that Bay Port severely lacks culture and diversity, as most students come from white backrounds. Because most BP students come from middle to upper class families we are given opportunities that students from neighboring communities are not. This is very problematic as resources are not being evenly provided to our brothers and sisters who rightfully deserve the same quality of education and environment we receive.... Read 247 reviews

  Rating 3.78 out of 5  74 reviews

Senior: My experience in Wrightstown High School is one I will look fondly back on for many years to come. I've found the teachers to be an amazing group of people. They're kind, patient and have the best interest of their students in mind. They're very willing to help outside of class and don't judge students. The extracurriculars are amazing as well. I was a part of musical, one-act, FFA, FBLA, NHS, Battle of the Books, and several programs through school and they were all amazing experiences. Because the teachers are often the club advisors, they're very involved with their students and get to know them on a personal level. The only two factors that don't warrant a good review are the food (classic cafeteria-style food) and the diversity. In my class of 108, there were less than 10 non-Caucasian students. Overall, I would recommend this school district to anybody.... Read 74 reviews

Senior: I have been going to Ashwaubenon High School for three years now. It is a great school! The staff is very welcoming and takes the time to help their students. There are plenty of classes to choose from including AP (advanced placement) courses. Additionally, the numerous extracurricular clubs and activities are excellent. I am involved in tennis, the math team, DECA (business club), LINK (helps incoming freshmen), and the National Honor Society. They all have something great to offer, and I have enjoyed spending time in each of them. I've learned valuable skills such as time management, responsibility, patience, and especially good teamwork. At Ashwaubenon High School, my tennis team was able to make it to team state two years in a row. Other clubs at the school are very talented as well. The only downside regarding the school would be the lunch food and that there is not much diversity. However, the academics, staff, clubs, arts, parent involvement, and school culture are the best!... Read 101 reviews

Junior: All the staff and students here are really nice. The curriculum for the most part is good and relevant to the class. I would like to see the wifi to change and for the blocked websites to become unblocked. When students try to write research papers, we often have to wait for the IT department to unblock websites we need for evidence. Other than that this high school is pretty good!... Read 247 reviews

Parent: My daughter has had a very excellent expirence at NEW Luth. HS. The teachers at the school have reached out to her to assist her with her acedemics. They have also been open to her reaching out to them for assistance both acedemically and personally. They have prayed with her and guided her acedemically, spiritually and emotionally. The school is building an addition that will help with crowding. I feel that there is too much emphasis on sports and not enough on the other extraculiculars. Overall, the expirence has been really good.... Read 22 reviews

Senior: Southwest High School was an enjoyable school to be at. There were always teachers willing to help students solve problems, and were usually flexible. Many of the teachers I had tended to change schoolwork/assignments depending on what was going on in the world. Sometimes if major events happened, the topic/work could have something to do with it. The school also had a variety of enjoyable classes. I had access to classes like 3D Animation, Biotechnology, Pre-Calculus, AP World History, and Law and Justice. With classes like these I was able to explore different fields of study to find what I was interested in. Not only that, but the other students were usually respectful and friendly. Even if students weren't friends, they could still treat them as one in a moments notice. Many students also knew when and when not to get involved in certain events. Students could easily be given space and support when necessary.... Read 194 reviews

Senior: Preble High is a great place to go for further growth personally, academically, and mentally. Having a very diverse student population, including foreign exchange students, Preble openly encourages diversity and open-mindedness. Staff are very friendly, knowledgeable, and humorous. They are also very considerate of students, taking time in and outside of class to encourage students' personal growths, as well as developing interpersonal communication. Allowing language education in Spanish, Italian, French, Chinese, and travel periods for ASL, Preble has shown to have high success rates in these languages. School spirit is highly encouraged on a daily basis, "Preble, Home of the Hornets" is the place to be! Every student is embraced, with spread awareness on mental health, disabilities (special classes to enable students to grow), language barriers (ELL classes here are excellent), and overall diversity. Preble also appeals to athletes and leaders, with Division 1 Sports and NHS, etc.... Read 279 reviews

Senior: I love Kaukauna High School! It has the perfect balance between academics, athletics, and social atmosphere. I feel like there is something for everyone here and any new student would feel welcomed and at home. The staff is very caring, invested and helpful and the students have a lot of school pride and have a strong sense of community. I feel prepared for college and that if I ever needed anything my teachers would be willing to help even after high school.... Read 176 reviews

Alum: It was a pretty good school because of the teachers always being there for their students. Always trying to help them finish high school and plan their life once we graduate. Also, a lot of the students are there to help anyone younger or older. Freshman year I always had other students help me find my classes and know my way around the school. Pulaski High School is one of the best schools I have ever attended and It really helps people grow during the time there. No one is there to go against you but they are there for the opposite reason! Plus, our school has some fantastic course that helped me get college courses of NWTC or whatever college you wanted. This school truly wanted only the best for their students and to accomplish anything that they set forth for themselves. Everyday was always a good day because I saw amazing teachers, attended course I wanted, and saw some of my friends in those halls.... Read 158 reviews

Senior: I like the small town community that Denmark provides for students. With a smaller school in a rural area, everyone knows everyone which is really nice. You can make a lot of good connections in a smaller school district such as this. There are also a lot of staff and administration members who you can tell really support their students and strive to provide them the best education so they can be successful, which is amazing....

Freshman: I think Green Bay West highschool is a very diverse and accepting place for everyone. Teachers are great and care about students. I hope to see better options in food selection, maybe for vegetarians or vegans at the school, now there really isn’t anything for them. But overall I think we have some good sports teams just more people need to get involved! Lastly anyone thinking of going to West, I think that’s a good choice especially with our IB program!...

Middle School Student: I honestly wish that this school got more attention from the School District; hardly anybody knows it exists. Myself, I did not enjoy the alternative-approach to education, but it was certainly working for many of the people there. One thing that the staff really, really, does not like is that the school has received a reputation as being a school for the delinquent. Whilst there were a couple "non-students" out of the 30 kids that were there, they were not permitted to dominate the atmosphere. I hope that Phantom Knight gets more visibility in the area and also looks to expand a bit. Many kids could benefit from the method of instruction that they employ.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Providence Academy is a rigorous school that will well prepare you for the real world. While the workload may get a bit hard in the later grades, all of it is to push you to do your best. Many Providence Academy alumni have said that college is a piece of cake because of their education at Providence, and as I have begun to take college courses, this has held true for me as well! If you want an academically rigorous school, with small class sizes and a close community, then I recommend Providence above all else. -A soon to be graduated senior... Read 3 reviews

Senior: The Denmark Community School is a project-based learning system school for independent learners. This school allows us to take full control over our educations, lets us work at our own pace, and lets us choose how we want to earn our credit. Students can truly show their creativity through their projects while demonstrating what they choose to learn. Since joining this school, I have done much better academically and mentally as well....
