• 21 reviews

Senior: I have attended Saint Joseph High School my entire life. I loved the small and close-nit family community. I was able to have a close relationship with my teachers who were always willing to put in extra hours to ensure my success. The staff and parent involvement is truly what held the school together and what kept the school running so smoothly. The emphasis that was placed on God and Catholic morals was truly inspiring and made me the steadfast Catholic that I am today. The athletics and coaches at Saint Joseph have been a huge part of my life. I played multiple sports throughout high school, and my coaches and teammates made those seasons memorable. The school building could benefit greatly from needed renovations. The computer lab and class rooms still use light projectors, which are seriously outdated. I think bringing in some new technology, like smart boards or chrome books, would enhance the learning experience for the future students.

• 45 reviews

Senior: Ironton High School is very family orientated and the community supports each other throughout and everyday basis. Whether it’s coming to sporting events, plays, or even academic assemblies, everyone is always there. One thing I’d like to see change about Ironton High is to make it more diverse. I feel like living in a small town there’s not going to be much diversity throughout the area, but I think we should try our hardest to welcome more cultures and ethnicities. Overall, I believe Ironton High has helped me grow as a young women and the classes have prepared me for college life in the future.

Senior: Dawson-Bryant has a good support system, the teachers really help the students to succeed. There are a lot of clubs and sports to get involved with. There are many activities the school participates in like assemblies and fundraisers. Dawson-Bryant also has opportunities to earn college credit through AP and dual credit through Ohio University. One thing the school could improve is the restrooms, working stall doors would be nice. Also, there are also plenty of resturants that surround the school which makes a good place to visit after school

• 39 reviews

Sophomore: The student atmosphere in RHHS is very positive and open. In the two years that I've attended so far there has been little to no bullying, and every student is included. However, some staff and administrators treat you as a child and not a young adult (from my personal perspective). There are many limitations such as no backpacks in the halls/class, no phones, a strict dress code, ect. There are also positive things such as the Chromebook program, Project Moore, and the arts and music wing are exceptional. The art teacher is especially benefitial as he teaches a very easy methood to learn, he has time to help anyone who needs it, is laid back, and is always open to talk to. There are many teachers like this here who you can talk to about anything and feel comfortable. My main issues with this school are the out dated rules and SOME administrators(not all).

Symmes Valley High School

• 23 reviews

Freshman: Symmes Valley is a great school to be at. Our school comes together in ways no one will believe. We come together with the Angel Tree project where around 15 students are chosen and anonymously, then chosen by a family. This family then gets a list of needs and wants of this child. After this, the family goes and buys what they feel necessary for this kid, and then wraps these gifts. Just before this child goes on Christmas break they receive their gifts. This is one way our school comes together. Our school also comes together by collecting things for families that have lost their homes or even a family member. At the annual fall festival, a girl from the jr. high had lost a family member. The facility members put a basket together to be auctioned off and the proceeds would go back to the family. At the auction that basket made the family an extra $900.00. This is how our school comes together and why Symmes Valley is such a great school to be at.
