Niche User: I am from Idaho, so coming to Arizona, and attending Yavapai was a huge life change for me. I fell in love with the school though, and a huge part of that was due to the great staff, and wonderful people I met, that made my experience so enjoyable. I was also part of the honors program at YC, My first semester i had a 3.5 GPA with my second semester coming out at a 3.6. I would most definitely say that Yavapai is not just a beautiful institution, but it is the reason I have enjoyed my schooling so much.... Read 2 reviews

Senior: Mingus Union High School is a great school with many diverse teachers with different teaching methods. Their sports and extracurriculars are extremely structured and well funded. There are some issues as with any school such as their discipline and willingness to do the right thing. There were multiple cases where I personally had to deal with an issue that I shouldn't have had too. Overall Mingus is a great school with minimal flaws and a great education and staff....

Sophomore: Although the Humboldt School District seemingly allows for purposeful studying on numerous subjects, the application towards college falls short in preparing the subjects meaningfully, and as a result, readiness towards college lacks in the sense that the teachers don't inspire students enough to grow potential in students' education. Nevertheless, the useful resources and the approach to the different subjects give the overall surrounding feel to the school a welcoming school for those wanting to attend a suitable and comfortable school to attend. Of course, though by far from the most ideal school, the Humboldt School District does motivate students well in attributing with the community. My experience within its clubs and classes have inspired some aspirations and future goals to some extent, the mood is soothing. While being a laid back, yet competitive school, I find their to be much more potentional, and as a result much more fun. I give the Humboldt School District a solid B.... Read 18 reviews

Senior: Camp Verde school district has kept a small town energy which helps students to maintain a strong connection with their teachers and the rest of the student body. I’ve always felt I could confide in my surroundings and be myself 100% which is the most important aspect of growing up and becoming an adult. I’ve grown into the person I am because of my community and I’m so thankful for that. It’s a little town with a junk food junction that we’re known for, but camp verde is so much more than that. It’s home.... Read 8 reviews
