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.

Middle School Student: Lebanon Elementary School is a family. A place where everyone works together. Time and time again Lebanon has gotten the highest scores in the district. With some threats from the district board recently of shutting it down, the students, families, and facility fought against it. We were able to keep this amazing, wonderful school open. If you're thinking of enrolling your child here, please do it will change your lives for the better.

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!

Niche User: The best part about attending this school is it's small size, while not for everyone, it allowed me to participate in many different types of activities and groups allowing me to broaden my horizons and experience things that I maybe would not have been able to at a larger sized school.

Lake Mills High School

• Lake Mills Area School District, WI
• 9-12
• 29 reviews

Senior: It's a great place to go education-wise and sports-wise, other than that it is alright, not terrible but not great. Advanced students and struggling students who don't qualify for an IEP aren't allowed much flexibility when it comes to classes. It's a very sports-emphasized atmosphere.

Alum: This was the greatest high school I could have asked for. There is a great Christian community. Teachers are understanding and encouraging. Academics is of a very high quality. The only thing I would change is to add more AP classes and clubs, but I do believe that the school is making an effort to add to these. Most of the athletic programs are great, and the atmosphere is so safe and welcoming.

Senior: There are a lot of really good programs available, and if there is something you want to do, there is a way to do it. My only problem is that the school doesn't put as much focus to the arts programs which is hard being someone involved in Choir, Band, and Color Guard. We have a great arts program, but not much financial support from the administration.

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.

Maranatha Baptist Academy

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

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.

Senior: I love the music department here and how dedicated all the teachers are in helping students understand what they are learning. Spirit week is always a highlight but the biggest recommendation to an incomer is get involved, meet new people, and volunteer. By doing these things you will gain new friends and figure out things that you like that you never thought you would.

Parent: Wonderful school with very caring teachers and staff. Awesome teacher to student ratio. Not as many electives as the bigger school districts, but with the same high standards of academics as anywhere else that is rated highly.

I would definitely recommend this school. Students are very caring to one another. It is definitely a school with a small town “Family” feeling.
