Senior: I enjoy attending this school because my teachers are willing to help me understand certain topics and really seem to care about my success. I feel safe here, the cafeteria food is exceptional, and the administration works hard to ensure that our school maintains a standard of excellence. Since our school has fewer students than other districts, we are encouraged to be involved in clubs and sports that we maybe would not have participated in otherwise. With that being said, I believe that the athletes representing our school play with passion and heart. Guided by proficient coaches, they learn the value of teamwork, that through unity much can be achieved. While being at a small school is difficult at times, I feel that the sense of community and devotion that encompasses us as we learn and grow is a special part of our culture at Cissna Park. I feel that because of my education here, I am equipped to continue my education and take the next step in my life.... Read 54 reviews

Sophomore: I like all the teachers here, and they all want to help you the best they can. The guidance counselor gets to know each student and really helps everyone to do what they need to get the jobs and the colleges they want. Being able to volunteer in the grade school is a great opportunity that I enjoy. The school events like homecoming are really fun and it feels like everyone is involved. Even if you aren't participating, you are cheering your class and friends. I would like more choices for electives, such as home economics or more foreign languages other than Spanish. Considering we didn't even have a spanish teacher this year, that is probably asking too much.... Read 17 reviews

Senior: Central high school is a very integrated school, where everyone knows everyone. It is a very tight knit community, and there is a large sense of family at Central. The teachers really care about their students, not just in the classroom, but outside of it as well. They want to make sure that you succeed in life, not just academically but personally as well. I loved my time at Central.... Read 45 reviews

Senior: Donovan High School is in a small town with a great community. Donovan High school is small, but that doesn't affect the quality of the school. Students get 1 on 1 attention from teachers that makes them feel like family. Throughout my high school years, I've excelled in grades and extracurricular activities and that's thanks to the great staff and community at Donovan High School. You feel welcome there, and respected. Which is something every student needs to succeed.... Read 16 reviews

Senior: Stewardson-Strasburg High School was overall a great school. What I loved most was that everybody knew everybody. The towns of Stewardson and Strasburg are small compared to others. It is nice going to a school where you either know everybody by name or on a more personal level. With being such a small school, our sports teams didn't have the numbers. We started co-oping with a neighboring school in sports in 2017. It was a tough transition the first year or two, but now we are all thankful for the friendships it has brought us. Our community as well, does a great job at providing for our school. Along with that, our school does a great job of giving back to the community. Overall, the students, the school, and our community are very tight knit.... Read 19 reviews

Senior: I value Christian education, having been in a Lutheran grade school from Pre-school through 8th grade. The teachers are wonderful, and care for each of their students. The teachers and staff go over and beyond to help students succeed. Being a small private school, we still achieve top-notch education. As an added bonus, we get to order Dairy Queen for lunch three days a week!... Read 4 reviews
