Alum: My experience was fantastic! I met so many great friends there and I was able to live with them. All my friends felt like family and every weekend was a blast. We could get enough people together to play basketball, ultimate frisbee, or any activity for that matter. The only thing I wish they had was a swimming pool, besides that the school felt like home.

Freshman: What I like about Jefferson High School is that they have various clubs for helping others! They have lots of sports to and all the teachers in this school are all helpful and will understand you. They will help you if you struggle on something! They all help you prepare for college and even have one on one with you and the guidance counselor on where you want to go for college and what you want to be! Something I want to change is, actually nothing the whole school is a great opportunity for anyone to join! Everyone is very caring and will be friends with you. They're marching band is really good and my favorite thing to do besides sports. I love this school and I can't wait to finish at Jefferson HIgh School! Go Eagles!

Lakeside Lutheran High School

• Private School
• Lake Mills, WI
• 9-12
• 104

Senior: Lakeside Lutheran High School is the best high school you could ever go to. From getting to know the teachers and talking to them one on one to knowing everyone in the school. It's a great experience to build relationships with not just other students but the teachers as well. The teachers really pushed me and made me who I am today. Without them, I wouldn't be where I am today. I always thought I was nothing more than just a girl that had no bright future. I was always lost and confused when it came to "who I was" and "who I wanted to be." But with the help of the teachers, they helped me find myself and figure out that I'm so much more than just a small town girl from Wisconsin. I know exactly what I want to do and who I want to be because of their endless love and support for not only me, but all their students. There's nothing I would change about this school. It's a school that is truly special and I'm so grateful that I got to be apart of it.

Maranatha Baptist Academy

• Private School
• Watertown, WI
• 9-12
• 21

Senior: It is a great atmosphere to be around in. The teachers are fantastic and are very qualified to teach us. On top of that, they care about us and do anything to help prepare us for the future ahead. The school gives the students many opportunities to be apart of something such as, basketball, soccer, tone chimes, choir, band, speech, Bible quizzing and memory, plus many other extra curricular activities. The students all know each other and get along pretty well. The school is located in the basement of Maranatha Baptist University and it is a great benefit seeing that we get to use the library, dining hall, classrooms, computer labs, science labs, and many other enjoyable uses. Since we are on the campus of a college, the atmosphere feels more college like and we are prepared for college while in highschool.

The teachers are very responsive and hold my kid to high expectations. They know my kids well and let me know how things are going.
The school is beautiful and well kept.

Junior: Johnson Creek is a school with a unique style. They are always willing to start something new and are willing to incorporate it into the school they recently built. They are preparing the students of the future by teaching ways that colleges would teach them, for example with personalized learning and things of that sort. I love that Johnson Creek is willing to try new things and learn and adapt to this rapid changing world.
