Senior: I attended BRHS from my 6th-grade year to my 12th-grade year and received a very good education. The school prepares its students for the real world outside of the school. They provide each student with the needed materials in life, then the teachers and administrators guide the students use of the materials, rather than holding their hand or leaving them to complete work themselves....

Senior: Magic City Campus has great opportunities for students of all interests. There, they offer classes in medical careers, autotech, music, arts, childcare, and many more! The variety of classes allows the students to really gain familiarity with their career interests, and also gives them experiences they otherwise wouldn't have in high school. Magic City also has teacher who do the absolute most to help students succeed, while still learning. They don't treat the students like they're 5, however they're always open for extra help before or after school, and even during their off hours. Magic City has given me a new perspective on what a high school experience should look like because I know that not all high schools offer the same opportunities they offer there....

Senior: Our Redeemer's is a quaint and quiet school. With a small student body, it really helps a person to grow up like a family with their peers. The small classroom sizes really help to gain the personal one on one time every student deserves to have with their teachers. In this school you are able to walk and grow in your faith while still learning all the things that prepare you for a college education. This school is similar to a family and is very determined in their academics and athletic programs. The people of the school are ready to open their arms to anyone looking to become a part of it....

Sophomore: Central Campus School is a good school. Most of the teachers there are good and truly care about their students. Although, I would like to see a change in some of them being that they son't care as much for their job. Other then that Central has a relaxed environment. There aren't any unreasonable rules but, if anything happens you will get disciplined right away.... Read 10 reviews

Senior: Berthold is a very good school. It is very small so the students get the opportunity to meet with the teachers one on one more often. Because of being such a small school the students are closer as friends and most of them have been together since they were in preschool. This also helps the teachers because they can focus on the students and teaching material that will benefit the students the most. The things that I would like to see changed in this school is the availability of technology for the students. The faculty tries to fix this problem, however the computers that we are allowed to used are either broken or are unable to stay charged for more than ten minutes. They gave us these computers so that it would not take away from the teachers that need them for class, but by doing that students are unable to do their online work at the school. I hope that in the near future they can find a solution to this problem so that the students have a better chance to succeed.... Read 17 reviews

Alum: I loved Nedrose! The teachers were excellent and it felt as though they really cared about us, the students. During this pandemic, I was supposed to graduate in may but sadly, we had to miss out on the last 3 months of our senior year. The teachers and staff hand delivered out cap and gowns to us and created a secrete senior pal. In which, Nedrose family members got to "sponsor" a senior and suprise them with little gifts! Not only did they do those things to make us feel special, they provided the football field for our graduation so all of our family members could be there! 10/10 would reccomend.... Read 3 reviews

Senior: I love Kenmare High School. My experience was great. The teachers cared about each individual student, and never hesitated when you asked for help. Everyone knows everyone and very kind. I look forward to going to school and being with my fellow classmates and learning. The teachers here make learning fun and exciting! We even have a cool program where during our flight time we have tutors. These tutors are students throughout the high school that can help other students.... Read 34 reviews

Senior: I've learned a lot from this school. Staff is all very friendly and helpful. SPHS is a smaller school, so everything is more personalized. The only thing I would change would be how much homework we get. It feels like it gets piled on and on. Other than that, great time!... Read 4 reviews
