Sophomore: Milton high school has taught me well, but my favorite part is our school spirit that we all share. "Panther pride" can especially be seen at every sporting event as the students, teachers, and community members crowd to cheer and gather to support our athletes with excitement and encouragement. I have witnessed this firsthand as a cross country and track runner, and it is made all better by the great support and guidance of our coaches at Milton. The teachers at my school are also committed to guiding students not only in educating them on the subject they teach, but many teachers incorporate lessons that help us learn about things outside of school. For instance, my geometry set out time to teach us about finances and choosing a right college. Though, one pitfall of my school is how some students treat others through the rumors spread and the words plainly, rudely stated. Milton staff and administration do their best to prevent these situations and help the students affected.... Read 41 reviews

Alum: Warrior Run is a small town school where a lot of people aren’t very open minded, yet there is a lot of opinions. Although there is cliques, everyone knows each other within the school. It isn’t a school that you have to be friends with everybody- but you do get along with everybody for the most part. I did learn how to be a decent human, and my teachers were there for me and understanding when I was having some family issues. Overall, I hated it when I was there because I was a moody teenager, but I learned a lot about myself and I made the best friend I could have ever asked for.... Read 22 reviews

Senior: I have been attending Line Mountain School District from Kindergarten to twelfth grade. Overall, my experience at Line Mountain has been wonderful. The high school and middle school sits on a beautiful campus. The buildings and facilities are very well kept. Academically, the high school has a lot to offer for being a small school. Various dual enrollment options are available for students in 11th and 12th grade. As well as numerous AP courses. Overall, the teaching staff is average. Some teachers are great teachers and strive to prepare their students for the future, whether it be academically or for the work force. I have always felt very safe in all buildings. One of the things that Line Mountain excels in is student and faculty safety, where as safety procedures are taken very seriously. It is made known that the administration wants all members of the school to feel that they are in a safe learning environment.... Read 16 reviews

Senior: First and foremost, I love how everyone is accepted. Shikellamy does a really good job of making everyone feel welcome. There are a ton of clubs, sports, and other student organizations for students to get involved. Every teacher I have had at Shikellamy is more than willing to help students in need, whether they need help with schoolwork or personal issues. Students tend to have great relationships with their teachers, as class sizes are small and therefore more personal. The guidance staff is also great with scheduling and personalizing classes....

Alum: The school has a good variety of courses to take to help students prepare for any future path they wish to take. There are also many things to be involved in within the district, both as part of the curriculum or as extra curriculars. It was sometimes difficult to have any issues taken seriously by the administration. As well, there was a small sense of nepotism within the school, with the children of faculty and staff being given preferential treatment in some cases.... Read 26 reviews

Alum: I'm proud to be a MCA alum, but its a poor area with poor funding. In spite of this, the school manages to produce success stories every year, including great athletes, teams, musicians and students!... Read 14 reviews
