  1. Lecanto High School

    • Citrus County Schools, FL
    • 9-12
    • 360

    Sophomore: I’m only a sophomore at the moment, but so far, Lecanto High is a pretty good school for me. The grading is fair, the teachers are nice, and I have a higher grade score then I did with my other schools. However, if I had to change something about it, it would probably be the cafeteria food and the bathroom cleanliness. From what I heard, the cafeteria food was homemade and incredible, but they changed it due to having to make a food label eveyrytime. Also, some of the bathroom stalls are just not he best when it comes to being clean. But other then that, it’s a great school!

    • PK, K-12
    • 21

    Alum: I loved the community at SRCS. This place did not shield me from the world but taught me about the world through the perspective of a Christian lens. I was involved with 4 varsity sports and they were the highlight of my high school years. I loved the competitiveness of our teams with local county high schools, and the support we had from the student body. I enjoyed the small class sizes where I could really get one-on-one time with teachers. I was very involved with clubs such as Interact, Student Council and National Honor Society. We had all of the clubs that advocated for our students and served our community.

    Senior: Great Academy of Health Careers Program and awesome teachers! The honors and AP classes provided me with the education and skills I need to be a successful college student. The teachers were always willing to help you if needed. The district overall has an A for a great education.

    Junior: As a student attending Citrus High School, its clearly obvious that the teachers thoroughly care about their students and want them to succeed. If they don't understand or need help they will try to help their students as much as possible and offer tutoring. There are various clubs to join and a plethora of sports, as well as the opportunity to perform in an advanced selective group called Breez'. It is a small school and has been a lovely experience so far!

    American Heritage School - Plantation Campus

    • Private School
    • Plantation, FL
    • PK, K-12
    • 508

    Junior: The school is superior to every other school in the entire South Eastern United States. Heritage provides the most extensive extracurricular programs in Florida with nationally recognized programs such as their Math Competition, Model UN, Science Research, and Robotics programs plus even more. Furthermore, the sports programs for basketball, soccer, football, and more are also really good, hence, the multitude of state/local championships that the school has. As a student, it can be stressful since all of the students are clearly top-notch kids that are very smart; however, the benefits from going to the school far outweigh the stress and hard work that comes with it. Moreover, if you look at any other school in competitions such as Science Bowl, Quiz Bowl, MUN, Mu Alpha Theta, and more, Heritage consistently receives top placing, while many of the "acclaimed" schools such as Pine Crest and Ransom Everglades don't even participate or they cannot even compare to Heritage.

    Eastside Catholic School

    • Private School
    • Sammamish, WA
    • 6-12
    • 88

    Alum: Overall, I had a great high school career here! It was everything I could hope for in a high school - the teachers are fantastic, and everyone is really kind, even across social barriers (such as jocks and band geeks). They also are famous for their great treatment of handicapped students - they often got to be homecoming royalty, and were treated very kindly by all types of people there.

    My only complaint is that as a co-founder of the marching band, the school tends to not give much attention or money to the music program despite its outstanding record and awards won every year. Even when students got to travel the world based on musical achievement or the band went to state championships in multiple areas, there were no announcements unless we pushed the administration.
