Senior: To me, Xavier has been a great place! All of the teachers I've had all want whats best for their students and work hard on educating them. Xavier has also been a place that showcases a great sense of community through sporting events, musicals, and just overall support for each student that goes through the system. The one downside that is most noticeable is the diversity. While there are many foreign exchange students here, there is still a lack of other cultures and on top of that, when there are other cultures, there is not as much of a welcoming feeling that you would hope for. But the students and staff at Xavier are very welcoming and accommodating and will do anything to make you feel comfortable!... Read 150 reviews

Junior: I honestly love going to school at Kimberly. All the students and teachers are very understanding and overall so nice. One thing that has really stood out to me while going to school here is that there is hardly any bullying. When you start at kimberly in kindergarten it is drilled into your head how bullying affects people. We all learn and remember this and I think it really left a lasting impression. I also have noticed how people stand up for each other. If someone notices something that they know is wrong, they stand up for themselves or others. Overall I feel that the kimberly district left very lasting impressions on everyone and made many of the students the mature adults they are becoming now.... Read 253 reviews

Senior: Most teachers are lenient. They give you plenty of time to get work done in school so you don't have much to do or nothing to do after school. I have been taking choir since freshman year and every year I always look forward to our concerts. Especially, Wintersong which is one of North's biggest concerts of the year. I highly recommend to anyone who is going to or who is attending North to join the choir. Even if you're not good at singing it is the best community to be in. I wish North would give students more opportunities during a pep rally. Obviously, with COVID it is more difficult, but hopefully when this pandemic dies down North will start to add more opportunities.... Read 230 reviews

Alum: I left Odyssey after fifth grade, in 2016. There were definitely many issues with Odyssey at the time I went there. Teachers were always pretty friendly, but there were some pretty big problems with the way neurodivergent children were treated by one of the teachers. Stimming would be called out and made fun of in front of the rest of the class. As someone who was struggling with severe anxiety and was neurodivergent myself, many of my ND traits would get me made fun of by other kids. I saw this with other ND children in my time there -- if you had autism, there was a good chance someone would make you feel bad and unincluded for it. When I came to Odyssey in third grade, I was one of only four girls in a class of almost 30. This lack of gender diversity was just ridiculous. There were very few children of color in my class as well. Bullying based on these things was common. I know things have changed now, but Odyssey had some serious problems when I went there....

Parent: My son never looked forward to going to school until we got into Fox River Academy. The teachers have all been absolutely phenomenal every step of the way. They are not only teaching the skills, but they have somehow sparked the light in my son now where he loves to learn. The communication with his teacher has been out of this world. I never wonder how he's doing academicslly, socially, or emotionally. It's really an all around, incredible school.... Read 1 review

Junior: Tesla engineering charter school is a great option for teens looking into going into technology and engineering base after high school. The school has many helpful classes which are specialized to help you best succeed. As a female, I never felt like the teachers looked at me differently or taught me any differently than my male peers. When it comes to the staff I can not say enough good words as they all put so much time and effort into their students. This school has given me so many helpful resources I needed and was a great way to add to my college resumes.... Read 8 reviews

Senior: The overall mission of the school is achieved very well as to continue students in their Christian faith and education. The academics are phenomenal as well as the incredible love and support from every teacher there. The new additions to the school add to the outstanding condition of the building itself. Safety is a key part to every day life at Fox Valley Lutheran High School. There is constant supervision by teachers along with strict rules about leaving and entering the building. It is also a closed campus which adds to the safety aspect because students are never allowed to leave the building! We follow a strict schedule every day which includes daily bible studies, chapels devotions, prayers, and required religion courses. The very demanding class schedule makes every student college prepared although opportunity for actual college credits are limited.... Read 121 reviews

Senior: Hortonville High School is the perfect place for students and teachers alike. The school offers an innovative environment where education can flourish and the school prides it'self at being the top in the state of Wisconsin! The school has great sports programs, However, if you aren't into sports, there are a vast amount of clubs and activities to partake in. Ranging from nerdy subjects like anime club to performance-based groups like the theater club that puts on yearly musicals. Also (and this is my personal opinion) HHS has one of the greatest bands in the state. This school has it all, but what makes HHS really special, are the people. It has some of the kindest, most respectful and most accepting staff ever. The teachers' influence affects the students, giving them positive energy and the persistence to achieve their goals. So, it doesn't matter what you study, or what you do at HHS. I found that it's the people you get to know that makes me proud to be a Hortonville Polar Bear.... Read 139 reviews
