Senior: My school district is amazing. It allows the students to be themselves and learn and grow. The district is amazing at creating inclusivity and letting students join activities that they want to do and help them all excel at each. The academics in my district is even better, we have some of the best teachers in the state, and our test scores prove it. The students are all incredibly intelligent and everyone puts effort into their education. Our athletics program is amazing as well. Each year, we have at least one sports team attend a state tournament, and have one multiple in the past few years. Although the pandemic has put a damper on this all, our schools are all doing the best they can to help each student excel through these trying times.... Read 17 reviews

Alum: The BHM school district strives to set its students up for success. The staff cares about its students, and they are always working to make improvements and ensure satisfaction. The school district provides many opportunities and activities for their students to get involved in. Given the choice to attend k-12 anywhere in Minnesota, I would choose to go to Buffalo over and over again. Definitely prepares students for the real-world and future education. It's not often you find a district that constantly works towards improving and takes the feedback of all involved. Overall, it has great academics, staff, and resources for every unique individual.... Read 51 reviews

Alum: Watertown is a pretty good school, they have fantastic teachers and are involved with the students. I believe they need to take extra safety precautions to ensure students, family and faculty feel safe at all times. I am proud to have been a Royal! Once a Royal, always a Royal!... Read 21 reviews

Senior: My experience at HLWW has been a very good one. Since we have such a small student body, it's easy to learn everyone's names and what kind of person they are. That's one thing I love about going to school here. A lot of schools have over 300 students in one grade, and they don't know who half of them are. But, at HLWW, we have a little over 300 in our whole high school. I like how I can walk down the halls and know who every person is. In academics, HLWW has some of the most caring teachers you've ever seen. They really want their students to succeed and have a future. In sports, we have coaches that never give up. They don't let a record from the year before stop them from trying to be the best. Our players are also very resilient, they work hard and never give up. Overall, HLWW is a very safe, kind, and fun place to go to school.... Read 6 reviews
