Senior: Male High school is a great traditional school. Their main focus is instilling hard working skills in classes while still participating in different activities around the school. School has changed a lot since Covid-19, but this school still goes with tradition. This is a very warming and positive environment. I am proud to be part of the bulldog family!... Read 579 reviews

Alum: As an alumni, the school itself underwent many changes and lots of remodeling during my time there. Other than that the school was amazing, all athletic departments were excellent, we excelled academically and there wasn't a single staff member I didn't like; except for....just kidding, all of them were great! I highly recommend Eastern High to all considering parents and students.... Read 551 reviews

Parent: My daughter went here after being accepted for 5th grade. She was at Middletown Elementary prior to transferring, where she wasn’t challenged in class, ever. She was and still is a straight A student. She loved Greathouse and that she felt a bit more challenged there, instead of bored racing through work. The school is clean, the administration are all kind, and the kids don’t run wild like I’ve seen in other schools. The only thing they need help on is the flow of the carpool line, updated/demo playground, and the cafeteria food is awful-but they don’t have much control over that. Although, if we are forced to pay for it unlike 95% of the other Elementary schools, it should be better selection. Some of it I wouldn’t feed my dog.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: We are incredibly happy that our son has the opportunity to attend LPAS. The administration is just wonderful. As you walk down the halls you immediately notice how happy and enthusiastic the children are to learn! One of the positive qualities of LPAS is the parental involvement. The administration encourages parents to get involved in all areas, ie., PTA, assisting in classrooms, special events, teacher appreciation and mentoring to name just a few. Therefore, it is not just the student, but the entire family that takes pride in making our school and our children successful. We only wish the school went through to 8th Grade.... Read 4 reviews

Parent: RCCA is an outstanding school. I hope they are able to keep the class sizes small now that so many more people are trying to get their kids in now that they're realizing that RCCA IS THE BEST! I have no complaints about the education or how my child is treated. The teachers and staff treat all of the students like family. So what if people are related. This has never been an issue for us and no, we're not related. We're going on our third year and couldn't be more satisfied. My child is flourishing at Rock Creek. We do not enjoy living in Sellersburg or Indiana for that matter The superb education our son is receiving at RCCA is the only reason that we have not and are not going to move out if the area....

Senior: My experience at Butler Traditional High School has ben wonderful! I have been there for four years and I am currently a senior. Butler is so welcoming and overall feels like home. Butler offers a wide variety of sports and clubs to choose from. One club that fascinates me is National Honors Society (NHS). NHS is a program for students with a GPA above 3.5. It helps students make a difference in their community by completing service hours. Butler has great administrators and teachers that are very approachable and kind to all students. In my opinion, Best Buddies is one of the best things about my school. Best Buddies is a program for special-needs students to interact with other students. It is very special to me because forever friends and connections are made with all the special-needs students. I would recommend Butler High School to everyone! I have met so many people and I feel involved at school. Choosing to attend Butler High School was one of the best choices I've ever made.... Read 381 reviews

Senior: Community Montessori is a good school but it isn't the school for everyone. I believe it does well for the younger side but when you get up to the older areas, it gets a bit iffy. With all the freedom it brings, a student can either thrive in it or suffer massive consequences. I think I do okay with the freedom, even though my first year at Montessori was a bit of a learning curve I had to get over, I know some people that are failing tremendously because they have no sense of urgency due to the lack of structure. Overall, amazing school with amazing staff, it's just not for everyone.... Read 43 reviews

Senior: As much as I say that I hate school, Jeffersontown High School has been my home for the past 4 years. It’s a place where I have found some of my best friends and a place where I have learned many valuable life lessons. Every single teacher at Jtown has had a great impact on me as a person, not only do they teach me, they have all cared for me like i’m there own. For those reasons, I feel like I could proudly recommend Jtown to anyone needing assistance in finding a high school!... Read 162 reviews

Niche User: The things I liked about the Seneca high school was the teachers how they was treating the students and help them with what they needed as a moral support and more that a students need.and the best part was the clubs that we have in Seneca high school my favorite club was soccer club that I been part of about 3 years and in my senior year I had to quit due to my financial problems and difficulties.and I had been in jrotc for 3 years and took the training of mcjrotc which was know as marine corps j rotc a fun activity and fun workout we been have doing with as a team and as a class mates. Having someone guiding you as a leader makes you feel safe and strong around them.and I have done lots of community services by being in mcjrotc for kids who is orphans and people who needed help with churches and other things that are difficult as a old person. So basically as a young blood we had to help them with all our strength and willing to help them with what ever they need.thanks for reading,... Read 285 reviews

Senior: This is the best school I could have asked for/found. It is smaller than a traditional public high school, and their focus is on students/teens who struggle with social interactions, and also have anxiety and other learning disabilities. I have ADHD and am on the autism spectrum, and through my 2+ years here, I have found that the staff and teachers are extremely supportive of my struggles and willing to help me overcome my challenges to be a successful high school graduate....

Parent: It was the right school for Alifa. She was able to work hard and take independent studies to complete her requirements for high school graduation early. Also her personality and leadership skills were encouraged and appreciated. She had a really good year at Liberty, where her self-confidence and motivation to learn were restored.... Read 10 reviews
