2019 Best Public High Schools in Rock CountyAbout this List

Craig High School

• Janesville School District, WI
• 9-12
• 192

Junior: Craig high school is a large school, with so many offerings. I have options to be able to take just about any class that has helped shape what I want to do with the rest of my life. But, if you can not find a class that suits you, Craig has a Youth-Options program that lets you take classes at the local public university (sometimes for free)! And you can receive college credit. The majority of my teachers have been very knowledgeable in the subject area that they teach. One thing I would like to see change is the overall obnoxious clique culture at Craig. Not so much "mean girls" just many people who do not want to step outside of their close circles of friends to interact with others. Most sports are competitive to get into and have a good program.

Evansville High School

• Evansville Community School District, WI
• 9-12
• 63

Junior: Evansville High School is unique school. Like most towns in the midwest, we are small and agriculturally focused. We have many classes dealing with agriculture and an entire wing of our building dedicated to "shop classes". On the other hand we have strong AP, computer sciences, and music programs. One thing our high school does every spring is a musical. This show is always incredible and draws crowds from all over southern Wisconsin. Another thing that is nice about our school us that the teachers are very concerned for your well being and want to see you succeed. Most teachers will give up lunch or time after school inorder to make sure you get the help you need. The students at Evansville, for the most part, are friendly and inviting. We have a wide variety of people that are interested in many things.

Turner High School

• Beloit Turner School District, WI
• 9-12
• 73

Alum: I enjoyed how Turner was a smaller high school. My class was made up of about 110 students, which made our grade really close to each other over the years growing up together. The teachers truly cared about how we were doing in class and also outside of class. They valued our mental health, and would tell us to look at them as a friend at time when in need. I made very close friendships with a couple of teachers who I would vent to when I was having troubles outside of school. The only thing I wish that would have been different would be the college readiness. I have gone into college feeling not that prepared. We didn't go over the ACT or even talk about it that much before we had took it. If Turner High were to make more classes for upperclassmen that would teach things such as how to fill out a check, how to fill out a job application, or how to do well on the ACT students would feel more prepared going into college and getting out into the real world.

Clinton High School

• Clinton Community School District, WI
• 9-12
• 49

High School Sophomore: The teachers at Clinton High School educate the students very well on the subjects they are pursuing in teaching in. They are all very knowledgeable about the curriculum and the subjects they are supposed to be teaching. The curriculum is also very well laid out for the teachers to be able to understand and to be able to teach in the most easiest way possible. The scheduling process is also very simple at Clinton High School. There are really only two steps a student has to take in order to put in the requested schedule they want for the next school year. The workload is also manageable if a student works hard and makes their homework one of their top priorities to focus on. Special study options include RISE, prep times where teachers can work with students, study halls students can use to get help with teachers, and there are also study sessions for certain subjects and ways to schedule meeting times for before and after school to get help from teachers. The most popular classes at Clinton High School that students partake in are Choir, Art and Agricultural classes.

Parker High School

• Janesville School District, WI
• 9-12
• 138

Sophomore: Everything about Parker High School is beyond great! Educational wise, all teachers have an outstanding curriculum and teach it very well. Sports at Parker on the other hand, haven’t been the best they could be in awhile and that could change by how the coaches coach all their players. But, students there are very nice and polite, it’s super easy to make friends. You have plenty of opportunities at this school if you work to your fullest. Parker High is a great school all around!

Senior: My favorite part about this school are the teachers. Every one of the teachers is very experienced in their fields, and I can ask them questions about anything and get a straight answer. I am also very thankful for the Foreign exchange program at our school, since they have given me my two best friends. We are recently also doing two different two-week exchanges, involving different countries. There are many chances in my school for us to be involved in many other cultures.

Rock University High School

• Janesville School District, WI
• 10-12

Senior: Rock University High School really helped me make friends and become more comfortable with who I am as a person. My grades improved since I started at Rock University High School. The pace is faster which I enjoy and instead of finals we have final projects. I love having projects instead because I myself have always been a horrible test taker. The teachers and staff are very welcoming and they really do care about the students well being.

Parkview High School

• Parkview School District, WI
• 9-12
• 33

Senior: I have been in the Parkview School District though out my entire education thus far. I feel that it has been good as a whole. the teachers here genuinely care for their students and all have a common goal, to see their students succeed. This is shown through out our district when test scores are compared to state averages. Parkview has many exemplary qualities, but like all districts there a certain things to be concerned with. Parkview lacks cultural diversity, which is something that would be expected for a rural setting such as the one Parkview is in. All things considered, Parkview has prepared me for life beyond high school and has shaped me into a individual who strives for success.

Tagos Leadership Academy

• Janesville School District, WI
• 7-12
• 8

Freshman: This was my first attending Tagos Leadership Academy. The school's academics is "independent project based" work. This is basically were we pick a topic or subject and then do a big project including a paper, a product of some sort, and live resource. Over all I find this school very helpful, understand, and filled with great staff and students. The only problem I have is the teachers here are too understanding. They don't provide punishments when(at least when I think) necessary.
