Austin Public School District, MN•
9-12
Senior: My experience at Austin Senior High School varies. From the good times to the bad. Usually, in surveys about your high school experience, you're supposed to talk about all the football games and drama. But I would like to talk about how Austin Senior High School has changed my life. Freshmen year, also known as "the year the upperclassmen bully you." My first year taught me to trust my gut feeling in every difficult situation. Moving onto the sophomore year. The sophomore year taught me to live every moment like it's your last. Junior year was a little more difficult, it taught me to never look back once you've taken a step forward. Austin Senior High School has always had something to offer for everyone. Not only has the school taught me many things, but has helped me with some of my biggest challenges. As I move into my senior year at Austin Senior High School, I look forward to the everlasting memories it has given me throughout the past 3 years.... Read 243 reviews

Southland Public School District, MN•
Senior: Southland Senior High School is a small school that provides big opportunities for its students. The devoted teachers and faculty work hard to help their students set goals and achieve them. Throughout my high school career, I have had the privilege to attend Southland. Everyone is encouraging and supportive of each other. I have made many friends here and I could not imagine going to any other school. There are many education options for students to choose from if they do not prefer the live classroom. Juniors and seniors are able to participate in PSEO college classes at Riverland Community College to get a start on achieving college level credits, while younger students can get personally tutored by fellow classmates. There are a also variety of extra curricular activities to choose from at Southland. Students are able to express themselves through these activities whether if it's sports or the arts. Southland Senior High School is a great place to learn and achieve goals.... Read 23 reviews

Parent: My husband graduated from FMS in the 90s and both of our sons graduated from here ('16 & '20), as well. I love what this school did for each of my men! The leadership skills they each learned at Fishburne gave them what they needed to excel in every aspect of their lives. I love this place so much that I moved from my home state of North Carolina to live in this amazing community and to work for Fishburne. I can't imagine a better place to work, live, and learn!...

Hayfield Public School District, MN•
6-12
Senior: I'm a senior at Hayfield High School now, and I've been attending Hayfield since Kindergarten. My favorite part about Hayfield is how close of a community it is, since it's a smaller school. It's such a nice feeling that everyone knows each other, and you can tell the staff really do care about the students. When the Covid-19 pandemic first hit in 2020 last year, many graduation ceremonies were no longer held in person- rather they were held online instead or simply cancelled. Hayfield, however, was one of about 2 or 3 schools total in Minnesota that still made it happen for our seniors- all while following any protocols that were required, of course! To be quite honest, I can't think of much that I would change about Hayfield other than maybe a few facility updates, but we recently just got approved for and have finished construction for the referendum- so plenty of updates have already taken place. All around, I think Hayfield is great and would definitely recommend it to people.... Read 52 reviews

Potomac, MD•
Works Here: Bullis is amazing! I am so impressed with the curriculum. Teachers challenge students academically, yet they incorporate a joyful hands-on learning experience. The enriching opportunities are endless in academics, arts, athletics, and service, which provides a well-rounded education and cultivates respect for others, confidence, and the joy of discovery. Faculty, students, and parents are incredibly welcoming and friendly. I grew up in the DC area and assumed a different experience. However, the modern-day folklore that lingers — nothing could be further from the truth! Everyone I've met is genuinely kind, caring, and helpful. I am thrilled to be a part of the Bullis community.... Read 112 reviews

Parent: Commonwealth Academy is above and beyond what anyone could possibly imagine for their child. We needed to find a small, specialized school so that our daughter could thrive and succeed. It was a thrill to find such an inclusive atmosphere filled with dedicated administrators and teachers. My daughter has an anxiety disorder and OCD. Every single teacher CARES. The combination of education, creativity and fun that they have created is unmatched. The classrooms are small and kids with every learning difference are treated with respect and patience. Without the chaos and fear of a big school, our daughter got past the nerves that held her back and learned to speak to adults and advocate for herself. She had warm and nurturing advisors who saw her potential and appreciated her strengths - they gave her CONFIDENCE. The education and unparalleled college prep she received from C/A is why she's thriving in college today, and why our younger daughter is now a C/A student.... Read 11 reviews
