Senior: I love this school district. Although it is large, the staff and buildings make it seem like it is a little school and little district that cares about every single one of their students. Not only do the teachers care about their students, but they do the best they can to have all of them succeed. The staff are amazing and are well respected among the students. Overall, it is a very safe place to attend. There is a small amount of bullying but that gets reported and stopped rather quickly. The staff monitors the halls, making sure everybody is safe and respectful. The technology and classrooms are very up to date and modern. There are a lot of different sports that are offered, as well as many clubs. Sports and other activities at these schools are very inclusive and welcoming. Since there are so many clubs/sports, there is something that every student is interested in and most are involved in some type of extracurricular program. I really enjoy going to this district!...

  Rating 3.88 out of 5  40 reviews

Senior: Spring lake park is a great highschool, I have many fond memories, I made a lot of friends yearly. I failed somethings and exceeded in others. The teachers were great, they helped me, encouraged me and gave me a lot of oppurtunities to better my education. The school gives us a lot of oppurtunities during the day to relax and do our homework in peace. We didn't always have to be in a class, we had flex spaces that we can learn in. Overall it was the best highschool experience that I had and I wouldn't want to trade it. And it was safe I didn't have to fear anything.... Read 40 reviews

Senior: Centennial is a great school district. I have learned a lot in my time there. Not just from the curriculum but from the people. The teachers always try their best to teach you useful life lessons. I learned how to manage my time and work hard. Of course with that I learned all of the required topics. There was a amazing selection of useful electives. I learned how to manage a budget, type, and invest my money. I always knew that there was a support system for me to fall back on when I needed it. From a amazing team of counselors to great sport coaches I could always talk to who I needed to. The sports that I participated in at the school have given me my best friends. Centennial is a great school and I have had the best 3 years. I can't wait for my last one.... Read 53 reviews

Senior: The teachers are very good. Wished they were a bit more strict. The sport are quite good, same wit the coaches. Good resources for students. Everyone should be able to graduate here, only lazy individuals would not graduate here. They get a a lot of grant too so you can get free breakfast and after school snack. A few fights and the such but nothing really major. There is a school cop if that makes you feel better. The deans are alright, they will get you what you need to succeed.... Read 8 reviews

Senior: High-school wasn’t always just about academics to me. I value so many of the memories made there, good and bad. Procrastinating homework, sleeping in class, and taking shortcuts are all lessons high school has taught me to avoid learning twice. On the other hand it has also revealed to me the benefits of community, diligence, and most importantly the importance of change. Throughout all my experiences, the dreaded test scores and the chaotic assemblies, one that stands out to me most is Showchoir. Since change is one of the most important pillars of high school, it played a big role in my newfound identity in Showchoir. It took 3 years of high school for me to realize how much I love singing and dancing for audiences while sharing stories and conveying emotions and themes that cannot be expressed in any other way than through music. I now have the confidence to leave high school with the determination to achieve my dream. My biggest wish that my peers leave with the same determination.... Read 38 reviews
