Carmel Clay Schools

• School District
• Carmel, IN
• 49

Junior: Carmel Clay Schools has been reputed as one of the best public school districts in the state of Indiana. For the most part, it does rightfully deserve this recognition; the sports and academic programs are some of the best. As a high-achieving student, there are numerous AP classes in order for me to learn at a higher level, alongside numerous dual credit opportunities. As for sports, the rankings speak for themselves. There is sizable population of Asian-Americans, African-Americans, and Hispanic people, which allows for a mix of cultures and beliefs culminating under a singular roof. In addition, there are more extracurricular options than one could imagine. Yet, I feel as though the school could improve the quality of teachers, specifically in the Science department. While they are qualified to teach, many teachers are unwilling to work with students who are unable to understand, and they continuously shrug off concerns of students.

Southwest Allen County Schools

• School District
• Fort Wayne, IN
• 19

Senior: What I enjoy most about South West Allen County Schools is how close the community is with each other. Because there is only one high school, the majority of students have spent their entire lives together, making it so students always feel comfortable with one another. The teachers come from a wide background, allowing for my intellectual learning. I believe that this district has offered me with many opportunities and has treated me with grace during my academic career. There would not be another school district I would want to spend my time in.

Zionsville Community Schools

• School District
• Zionsville, IN
• 26

Senior: Zionsville Community High School is an outstanding school. This school provides a fabulous music program and academics. I have been blessed to be in the show choir for the past 3 years. It has shaped me as a better musician, person, and team player. The directors are a huge inspiration to me and have taught me to "Have an attitude of gratitude". The academics at Zionsville are crazy hard. I appreciate how challenging it is because of how prepared students are going into college. There are several things I would like to see change- the diversity, and reputation for being a racist school. About 70% of the school is white and we receive a lot of stereotypes for that. We aren't opposed to having other ethnicities we just don't for some reason. My hope is that in the future, we can somehow integrate and change the stereotypes of being racist.

South Gibson School Corporation

Junior: My favorite part about South Gibson is just like the surrounding communities, the school is very small. Classrooms usually have no more than 20-25 students and teachers are able to help students more easily.

Adams Central Community Schools

• School District
• Monroe, IN
• 15

Senior: Adams Central Community Schools is an amazing school. From the college readiness to the small community and family like feel. Growing up in this community and attending the same school for all 13 years of my childhood and adolescence has really helped me grow as a person. Attending a small school is also nice because you know everyone and everyone knows you. This especially helps if you need help with things, you have people you actually know to turn to. Also being a part of a small school allows you to connect on a higher level with your teachers and they can get to know you more. I would recommend Adams Central to anyone and I have loved every minute here.

Northwestern School Corporation

• School District
• Kokomo, IN

Senior: Northwestern is a great corporation with amazing staff and students. The expectations of our education are raised high, but with all the supporting teachers that we have, all students are able to achieve anything. Along with the excellent education comes the athletic program. Northwestern has an excellent athletic program as well. This program has fall, winter, and spring sports. Those sports are football, soccer (girls and boys), golf (girls and boys), tennis (girls and boys), volleyball, cross country, basketball (girls and boys), swimming (girls and boys), softball, and baseball. We have amazing coaches for all the sports that we offer. All together Northwestern High School is the perfect school for any student. The students are great as well. There is very little conflict between students. If there ever is the staff handles the situation extremely well. The safety of this school is beyond excellent. I never have a feeling that something could go wrong in this school.

Lawrenceburg Community School Corporation

• School District
• Lawrenceburg, IN
• 5

Alum: I went to Lawrenceburg High School for four years. In that time, I was overwhelmed with the amount of administrative involvement in academics and extracurricular actives. The faculty cared about each one of their students and their success. One downside of the school is the outdated building. More and more people have started coming to Lawrenceburg High School, and the building is starting to reach its max capacity. I would like to see more money spent on fixing the school as a whole rather than just spending money on a new gym.

Eastern Howard School Corporation

• School District

Senior: Eastern is an excellent school. The teachers want to see their students excel and the students have a drive to succeed. Not only do the students have good grades and test scores, but they have great character outside of school. That character shows in the sports that the students play. The sportsmanship is great. The administration is also willing to help and support their Comets. The only downfall of the school is the food, but that’s like any other school. Eastern is great and is in fact “A tradition of excellence.”

Batesville Community School Corporation

• School District
• Batesville, IN
• 16

Junior: I love all the wonderful teachers BCSC hires! All of my teachers are very sweet and would do anything to help me succeed. All the teachers have their students best interest at heart and that means a lot. It is nice to know your teachers care about you and they push you to do your absolute best. They help prepare students for iSTEP and most of what they teach shows up on the SAT/ACT, so they definitely do a wonderful job at preparing us for what lies ahead. I wouldn't want to go to any other high school! However, they could update the school a little. They just added a new sports facility and that is nice but I think they should have used some of the money to spruce up the older part of the building, but overall BCSC is great.
