Senior: Jasper is quite the unique school with a widely diverse student population! The school pushes academics and the arts a lot, making it an overall academically balanced school environment! The teachers here are really connected with students and put a lot of effort into making sure students are ready for college and the workplace afterward! The schedule is also unique with the implementation of a block lunch system encouraging students to complete homework, attend tutorials, and catch up with teachers and friends! One of my favorite school traditions is no-homework Thursdays where literally no homework is due on Friday, encouraging students to support the sports teams as well as enjoy their high school experience!...

Freshman: From Kindergarten onward, I have always felt connected to my classmates. Reedy fosters those connections and relationships, whether that be with a coach or a lunch lady. I have learned so many valuable life skills along with my education. Additionally, the teachers express a sense of understanding toward the students. I love how the school is run and the sense of belonging that comes with it!... Read 107 reviews

Alum: I had a great experience at IHS, all the teachers and staff are great! The counselors and career counselors helped me greatly as I started my college preparation, as well as the teachers who took the time to get to know the students and offer help if needed. The fine arts or any sports are something I recommend getting involved with, which is usually where you will find friends and people with the same interest as you. There are many resources that you can get at IHS in order to be better prepared for your career, such as taking dual credit classes, AP exams, completing different endorsements, taking SAT and ACT, taking language assessment to get credits in case you speak another language, college fair, the xello app and a online portfolio through bulb, as well as the diverse cords that can be earned through clubs, blood donation, 100 hour community service, and by joining NHS as you keep a high GPA and continue to attend meetings and earn community services hours for graduation....

Senior: At Lovejoy High School the teachers and administrators provided us with high-quality education and opportunities for social, arts, and sporting activities. I enjoyed having the freedom to choose different kinds of clubs and be part of certain fundraisers. It was a time to also figure out who, among my friends, I could develop healthy and long-lasting friendships with. The teachers were great, respectful, passionate, and helpful. In my 9th grade, I was able to meet a great Biology teacher who had vast knowledge of Biology and always tried to have fun in her class. She handled serious issues with students well and always tried to solve them. She had impacted my life with basic biology knowledge that I had gotten interested in it for a long time during high school.... Read 239 reviews

Sophomore: This school is an amazing place to get prepared for college. It is an IB Charter School and while it doesn't have a big building and lots of learning supplies, most of the teachers there are invested in your learning. The classes here are all here to teach you the how AND the why, "the process" rather than memorization like public schools. There are lots of collaborative projects and individual projects that help you learn how to achieve the best outcome. This school isn't well funded so they don't have amazing sports and arts but if you do sign up for them, know you'll be welcomed. This school breaks you before college does so that when you get to college, you'll think "this is a breeze because I've already had this rigorous work before."... Read 47 reviews

Alum: Even before attending Plano West, I had heard about its highly academic environment and extremely hardworking students. Once a member of the Wolfpack, I soon grew to hold the same opinion. Most of the students at Plano West are deeply dedicated to their interests, whether it be a core class such as Chemistry or History, electives such as Sports, Art or Music, and many clubs the school has to offer. As an art student I must rave especially about the Art department, as the teachers are phenomenal. They provide excellent tools, recourses, and education to their students, and genuinely wish to make connections with them in order to ensure their experience in the classroom is as inspiring and productive as possible. Many of my other teachers were also wonderful and have an obvious passion for passing down knowledge to our generation. For this reason, I do wish they were paid more. All in all, a great high school that prepares you for college while providing many academic resources.... Read 1,135 reviews

Senior: My experience at Lebanon Trail was a very humbling and exciting one because not only did my friends from middle school attended but there were many other new strangers to meet and make friends with. The teachers overall were very helpful and made me improve not only my academic skills, but also improving my comprehension and critical thinking skills necessary to certain life situations. My experience was mostly accentuated due to band because I played percussion and I mostly spent my time with that organization and surrounded myself with good people that most definitely made my attendance at this school more stress-free. Overall, I do not regret coming to this school, for I have made many relationships with different people and learned many lessons that I will most definitely carry on throughout my life....

Senior: Heritage High School in Frisco, Texas takes pride in educating and preparing its students for bright futures in all areas of study. We are a public school located in the suburbs of Dallas-Fort Worth. Heritage is located within walking distance of most of its students' homes.

Senior: Prestonwood has a good community of teachers who care very deeply about their students. The student body is small enough to have a personable relationship with teachers and classmates, but large enough to have good school spirit, multiple groups, and activities that are unique. Sometimes the student body themselves seems to be the only problem as they can be hypocritical and are mostly made up of more high class kids who do not understand the incredible opportunity that they were simply born into. However, the education is incredible and broad, and the teachers want the children to have fun and learn.... Read 131 reviews

Senior: Centennial High School taught me a variety of lessons throughout my high school career. From learning how to grow up to making the varsity football team as a sophomore, I have not only been in many situations that have changed me for the better, but I have experienced a time in which I always feel safe and motivated to push through any obstacle. The environment at Centennial is truly great, as almost every teacher in the hall has a bright smile on their face that lighten up the mood of a boring school day and also spread energy to the students. In almost every class I have been in, the teacher has been very respectful, attentive, and understanding which is a true reflection of the magnificent staff as a whole. I have met so many different people from a variety of backgrounds here at Centennial, and I would not trade these experiences for the world. I really believe Centennial High School has made a positive impact on me that I will carry on into the real world in the future!... Read 607 reviews

While it doesn't have the traditional high school experience with the Friday night football games or riveting theatre productions, there are more opportunities each year. It most definitely gets better!... Read 2 reviews

Senior: I went to Norton Elementary from kindergarten through second grade and from what I can remember, it was a great school in the neighborhood. Even though I attended almost ten years ago now, and much has probably changed, would rate my experience as excellent from my student perspective. The parent involvement was always spectacular, and the teachers cared for the students.... Read 1 review

Parent: The teachers here are truly amazing and I have been so impressed with the administration. The PTA is outstanding and they are constantly supporting the community with fun events. I do not worry about safety- they have excellent procedures in place to protect the kids. I also never worry about whether or not my kids will pass their STAAR exams as I have seen the teachers and staff step up and put in extra time if a student appears to be struggling. So grateful we were blessed enough to land at Boon! My kids are looking forward to coming back when they graduate from the incredible Allen High School!... Read 3 reviews
