#1 Best Public High Schools in McHenry County
Prairie Ridge High School
Senior: As a soon to graduate student, my time at Prairie Ridge was enjoyable. Everyone has there highs and lows, but that didn’t stop me from not enjoying the opportunities this school had to offer.
The best part about this high school was the teachers. They always understood students who had busy lives outside of education and put effort to get to know students. Yet, you always had that one teacher that isn’t the greatest with kids, generally. However, if you show your dedication, they learn to appreciate you.
Ultimately, the only down fall to my experience was the online learning. It was clear teachers were not prepared for this. (Of course, no one really was) Yet, these great teachers seemed to struggle to find ways to keep students engaged; especially, for students who began to slip in good grades.
Besides the downfall in teachers leadership for a crazy two years, my overall experience was great!... Read 372 reviews
