Junior: As previous users have stated, 95% of our teachers are extremely hardworking and dedicated to their jobs. As you get to know most of them, they will check on you daily to make sure things are going well for you. There are a few teachers, especially in the science and math departments, that put less than stellar effort into their jobs and it shows (however, they still do a pretty good job with the resources they are given). I do believe clubs are significantly underfunded compared to sports, and sometimes clubs actually still end up performing better. Our band and drama programs are second to none around our area, most sports have been quite competitive and successful recently, Speech & Debate is posting some of the best numbers it's ever had here (thanks to our wonderful advisers), and there have been at least 5 new clubs created in the past few years. The atmosphere is generally safe and welcoming, although you can argue some kids were raised to be rather unforgiving.... Read 103 reviews

Niche User: Huron High School was an awesome high school! A lot of help and resources were provided to me by the staff and teachers. I was in the National Honors Society, where I got to be more involved within the community and staying active when it came to school activities. The education provided was extremely helpful to use in future life experiences. This school overall is a very great school!... Read 84 reviews

Alum: I had a great experience as a child growing up and attending Milan Elementary School. The teachers and other staff members were great and very helpful to all of the students. We always put on plays at the school, musical concerts multiple times a year, and always had a bookfair multiple times a year as well. That was always my favorite part. My daughter will attend Edison Elementary (as the school is now named) in a few years when she will start Pre-school and so will my second child when their ready to attend school. It is a great school system and would change nothing about it.... Read 1 review

Senior: Sandusky High School has giving me lots of opportunities that I never thought I would be a part of. They have lots of art and music programs and they help a lot with what you want to do with your future. I have been involved in Marching Band, Orchestra, A Capella Choir and I am in the Great Lakes Performing and Visual Art Academy which gives you the chance to perform dance routines, display your artwork in student ran art galleries, sing in front of audiences and perform instrumental pieces. This is a school of many opportunities.... Read 97 reviews

Our sports and extracurricular activities are highly praised and the more involved you are the better experience you will have. Every facility at Vermilion is very well taken care of and there is very little to complain about.

Middle School Student: I am a middle school student and have been here my whole life. I love Margaretta. As a middle schooler I think I am pretty ready for college as much as a middle schooler can get. Are school has amazing school spirit from cheering on our football team too cheering on any sport. Are sports are amazing people show up and it's a blast from the time you get there from the time you leave. We also have very fun activities like band, choir, FFA, anything you can possibly think of. Also we have fun stuff after school to like sports, dances, pep rallies, and so much more. Also there is a group of families who host a non denominational group called Epic anyone can go and it is super fun and you get donuts the first Wednesday of every month. Margaretta is a great school for everyone and I encourage people to go to it.... Read 31 reviews

Parent: As the parent of a graduating senior I am so thankful to have found Townsend for my daughter. McKenna began struggling with anxiety and depression her junior year. A knee accident made those symptoms worse and school became more of a struggle. Townsend teachers really worked with McKenna to get her to earn the needed credits for graduation. She was even able to take advantage of CCP courses and earn 18 credits that will transfer to college. Medications for those impairments take so long to begin working and many times those medications may not even work making it necessary to try new ones. Going through all of the trials of new medications was not a nice fit with trying to navigate through High School. Townsend gave McKenna time to concentrate on school work while at the same time work towards becoming healthy and happy again. I am so proud of my daughter. She will be attending BGSU to study Elementary Education or school counseling.... Read 7 reviews
