Alum: I liked the teachers and their involvement with the students and parents. The administrative staff was friendly and welcoming to all students. Students felt welcome and bullying was not tolerated which is very comforting to a student. It was easy to get help from teachers during school hours.

Alum: My experience at the Becker Middle school was a positive one. The classes offered and teachers were great! Class size was perfect. Community is a tight nit group and can be challenging at times. If you have a right last name it's easy if not, not so much. Many opportunities to be involved; you simply have to pick what interests you and join.

Alum: I really felt that my time at Elk River High School prepared me for college. There were a variety of college level AP courses offered, which gave me experience in the rigor of college coursework. My chosen major is music, and the music program at Elk River helped me continue my love for playing and showed me the different pathways a career in music could take me. I had many opportunities outside of school offered to me, both within music and academics. Elk River High School also provided a lot of resources for scholarships and preparing to finance a secondary education.

Liberty Elementary School

Parent: I have had 3 of my kids attend Liberty. THEY ARE THE MORE CARING STAFF you will find! My older 2 needed title 1 services, reading corps, targeted services and summer school in their early grades and both have benefited from those extra services to become top of their class as they moved through the grade levels. My youngest has really struggled in his early years as well he is behind in his learning. His K teacher has found a way to meet independently with him for a more targeted learning experience and his reading corps teacher also works individually with him and she sends home books and activities home with him weekly. I know he is getting the best from them. Weather we're walking in or out of the building every adult greets my kids by name. From the admin, teachers, office staff, specials and paras, I have overwhelming confidence in this school. They are doing an amazing job!

Senior: Becker High School is a great school with great opportunities! I came to Becker when I was a freshman in high school. I felt welcomed right away and met very nice people. Because of Becker I got involved with the robotics club, the student news, different leadership programs, and got to attend classes not offered at the school I attended before hand. Without attending Becker High School I would not have been able to be apart of many classes and activities that have been available to me now. I feel that Becker High School could be more diverse and economy friendly.

Middle School Student: I love the new auditorium. The teachers are great and they really want you to do good. I just wish that the lunches will get better. One time I wanted to join jazz band but we don't have much money and he let me join for free.

Parent: When the 2 elementary schools moved from each k-5 to one being k-2 and Indy being 3-5 my oldest moved to Indy for 5th grade. He was very concerned about leaving Liberty school and moving in with the other half of 5th graders in our community. The staff at both schools did an amazing to ease this change for both parents and students. They build such a strong sense of community in this school. After only 1 year my son has really taken ownership of his learning. Keep up the great work Indy!

Alum: I loved my time at Zimmerman High School for many reasons. First, they show equal importance in academics, the arts, and sports which is hard to find these days. Not to mention the teachers and staff at the school are beyond wonderful! They all genuinely care about their students and push them to not only succeed in their academics, arts/sports, but also in their own personal experiences. Thanks to my teachers I learned a lot about myself and they helped shape me into the young individual that I am today. I would 100% recommend attending this High School.

Parent: I graduated and currently teach at Big Lake High School. Much has changed since I was a student in a smaller community at the time, but BLHS has really stepped up in the last decade to genuinely become a school of the students, by the students and for the students. This is our principal's motto! We have built lasting partnerships with our community and in my 18 years in education I have never been more excited about the opportunities we provide for our students. The focus on college and career readiness is clear and as a parent I feel confident that my 3 children will leave Big Lake schools prepared to successful at the next level, whatever that might mean for them.
