  2. Ponca High School

    • Ponca Public Schools, NE
    • 7-12
    • 12 reviews

    Senior: Ponca High School is a wonderful school with many opportunities that prepare students for their futures. Some of those opportunities would be the Junior Interview Unit, the Sophomore Career Unit, and the Senior Scholarship Unit. In the Junior Interview Unit, students are taught how to fill out a resume and a cover letter for a job application. After those forms are completed, five local professionals come to the school to interview the students. This unit is great because it prepares the students for their future job or scholarship interviews and applications. The Sophomore Career Unit is awesome because it allows the students to research different careers to see what they are interested in. It helps the students find their path for their futures. The Senior Scholarship Unit is another great unit because it truly helps the seniors prepare their scholarship answers. These units are just a few of the many great educational units that Ponca High School has to offer!

  3. Allen High School

    • Allen Consolidated Schools, NE
    • 7-12
    • 32 reviews

    Senior: Allen High School is a good school for the average student. There are teachers who care about you and want to see you succeed. However, I am a A+ student who needs more challenge in my curriculum. There are several classes that do challenge me, and it is hard to ask that of a rural school that is providing for students of every level. Overall, it is a decent high school. I, as a bright student, however, would like to see more challenging classes offered.

    Cortona Academy

    • Private School
    • HERNDON, VA
    • 7-12
    • 19 reviews

    Alum: I spent two summers at Cortona as a camp counselor for their STEM summer camp. From my experience, I personally learned a great deal from Sharon, Karlis, and all of the wonderful instructors about how to work with kids.

    I was very impressed by the size of the facility, and their emphasis on giving the kids fun, engaging, and hands-on projects. Cortona was the first school I had ever heard of that had elementary schoolers learning 3D modeling, and working with 3D printers, laser-cutters, and laser-engravers. If I could go back and do high school again, I would definitely consider going to Cortona.

    Last note, I was also very impressed by their teacher to pupil ratio!
