O'Gorman High School

• Private School
• Sioux Falls, SD
• 9-12
• 131 reviews

Niche User: Great school! Teachers are nice and students are serious about school. I think that attending O'Gorman has helped me a lot academically. However, making friends can be a little challenging because students have grown up around each other. I found it challenging to make friends at O'Gorman although I should have tried harder to make friends with them.

Brandon Valley High School

• Brandon Valley School District, SD
• 9-12
• 208 reviews

Alum: Brandon Valley High School prepared me for college by giving me freedom and independence. I enjoyed the classes I took and teachers were always willing to lend a hand. Implemented into my sophomore year, for forty-five minutes after school, teachers stayed in classrooms to allow time for students who needed it. This was especially helpful to those who rode the bus or didn't have time in the morning to communicate with teachers. At the time of my involvement, I didn't consider Brandon Valley to have amazing food; however, after experiencing what other schools offered, I am grateful for the nutrients this district provided. There were plenty of whole grains and the vegetables were always cooked thoroughly. Overall, I loved the atmosphere this school had to offer. It really felt like a whole community.

Lincoln High School

• Sioux Falls School District, SD
• 9-12
• 201 reviews

Senior: Lincoln overall was and is a great high school to attend too. The atmosphere is very comforting and the students all work very well together. Every school is going to have it's up and downs with other students, teachers or other faculty. However, my favorite part about Lincoln was that they do a lot of things to get kids involved and offer many opportunities. I entered the public system in ninth grade and I have been offered many things to get involved in. I love being a student that represents the Patriots!

Washington High School

• Sioux Falls School District, SD
• 9-12
• 297 reviews

Senior: I have loved going to Washington High school for the past four years. My school is different than any other schools in my city because of the major diversity we have with different races and religions. It is unique because of everyone’s wide spread passion and school spirit that radiates through the halls. Whether it be at sporting, musical, or theatre events, Washington staff, students, and supporters are there with warrior pride. I would improve our school in a way that merges our diverse student body so each student has the opportunity to learn and understand each other’s back grounds and unique upbringings. Overall my school offers so many opportunities in and out of the classroom and being involved is a key characteristic of a Washington student. Our school is one big family of diversity which adds a positive and competitive touch to Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls Christian Schools

• Private School
• Sioux Falls, SD
• PK, K-12
• 96 reviews

Parent: Our family is grateful to have experienced preschool, elementary, middle and high school at Sioux Falls Christian, and we have witnessed the passion our teachers and staff have for sharing the love of Christ with students and families each day. Our oldest is now benefiting from excellent opportunities in high school athletics and fine arts, and at every level our administrators have made it a priority to differentiate curriculum for all learners, whether delayed or accelerated. Most importantly, our children have each deepened their relationship with Christ through their years at SFC, far more than we could do alone at home and at church, and we trust and pray that will have an eternal impact! Can’t recommend this school enough!

Roosevelt High School

• Sioux Falls School District, SD
• 9-12
• 374 reviews

Alum: I loved the school I chose right out of eighth grade and I wouldn't want it any other way! As I'm graduating, I've noticed all the opportunities and help the teachers and counselors at Roosevelt was able to give me to build my own successful future! My school was very large, a graduating class of four hundred ninety six people! That might scare some people, but I find myself lucky to be able to get to know so many different people that have changed my life for the better! The school was full of leadership, and very motivating people. I'm thankful I was able to be apart of such a strong and helpful community all those years!
