Craig High School

• Janesville School District, WI
• 9-12
• 196 reviews

Senior: I have enjoyed my time at Craig. I have met many great friends and also some great teachers. I even met my current boyfriend here, we have been dating now for a year. Craig is surrounded by great people who are there for a good reason. If I could just change one thing about this school, however, it would be the set up. Every year we are given different rules and regulations, grading policies, every teacher does something different, which in return makes keeping up a little difficult. I know that the teachers do not necessarily have control over this, and that staff is not meaning for things to be confusing, however, it is evident that they do not have the most efficient programming.

Turner High School

• Beloit Turner School District, WI
• 9-12
• 74 reviews

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.

Evansville High School

• Evansville Community School District, WI
• 9-12
• 67 reviews

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.

• 9-12
• 143 reviews

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!

Clinton High School

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

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.

Rock University High School

• Janesville School District, WI
• 10-12
• 9 reviews

Senior: I will admit the first year was rough for me because I had old habits from my past school that didn't mix with Rock University High School well. As the years went on I was able to get myself together and learn to be a good student. It is very different from regular packed high schools. The environment is positive but also can be negative at times depending on the people around you. I am a growing artist and continue to grow my skills in many ways at this school. I honestly couldn't imagine being where I am today mentally and socially without Rock University High School. This school has helped me overcome a depressive state and through that I have learned many skills that will help me in the real world. I am proud to be/have been(once I graduate) a student at this school. I can highly recommend this you/your children/your grandchildren/your step children/any children you may take care of!

Parkview High School

• Parkview School District, WI
• 9-12
• 34 reviews

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.
