School of the Ozarks

• Private School
• POINT LOOKOUT, MO
• K-12
• Rating 4.9 out of 5  10 reviews

Alum: School of the Ozarks radically changed my life. It is, undoubtedly, one of the top schools in the state. While instilling a strict set of values in their students, they remain dedicated to preparing their students academically, emotionally, and spiritually to go out into the world.

School of the Ozarks provides unique opportunities to learn, being a classical school and all. The professors push students to learn, not only from books, but from each other, using harkness discussions and other various tools to get students engaged and discussing tough topics.

School of the Ozarks Faculty work diligently to produce tomorrows God-fearing, patriotic leaders. I'm extremely grateful for the opportunities and character development they provided me, and cannot wait to have my children apply one day.

Branson High School

• Branson R-IV School District, MO
• 9-12
• Rating 4.05 out of 5  181 reviews

Senior: My experience at Branson High School has been really good! I have had mostly great teachers over the years. They make sure that you are getting all the help that you need with your academics in order to succeed. I have found some really great friends and I always have a great time at school events. Also, they make sure that you can find a spot to get involved in clubs or sports. One thing I would say is that not everyone you come into contact with will be friendly and some teachers put a lot of pressure on you to do well. Other than those few things, my experience has been pretty good and I have had great classes and have made good memories throughout my four years at Branson.

• Rating 3.43 out of 5  7 reviews

High School Senior: We're a small school, but we're a family. That's really all that matters. No other school can compare to the great experiences and connection you receive when going to a small school. It's something that you wish for, even if you don't realize that you're wishing for it. You find friends easier, your teachers can work more closely with you, and everyone knows everyone. Sometimes it's a bad thing, but mainly it's good.

Trinity Christian Academy

• Private School
• HOLLISTER, MO
• PK, K-12
• Rating 4.33 out of 5  3 reviews

Senior: My experience with Trinity Christian Academy has been outstanding since I'v attended. One thing I really enjoy is the ability to work at your own pace, it allows you to work with less stress and gives you time to comprehend and study all you've learned. With that being said I also really appreciate and take advantage of the one on one learning with each teacher. However if there were to be anything that needs approving it would be the group activities and student interaction in each class.
