• Muncie, IN
• 10-12
• 333 reviews

Senior: The Indiana Academy for Science Mathematics, and Humanities has provided the best opportunities for me! I have had access to classes here that I never would have at my old school. The cirriculum is challenging but it well prepared me for college! The teachers are amazing and professional in their courses! The only think I would change at this school would be the unorganization. The school can be unorganized with convocations and information.

Carmel High School

• Carmel Clay Schools, IN
• 9-12
• 1,018 reviews

Alum: I attended this school through all four years of high school. This school employs excellent instructors, who not only fill you with information and understanding, but also invest into their students and desire to see them succeed. If there were to be one knock on this school, it would be that the students in general view themselves as better than every other school in the state, almost as though they are somehow "above" other students in the state. However, from a college-readiness and academic perspective, Carmel High School does an excellent job!

Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School

• Private School
• Indianapolis, IN
• 9-12
• 104 reviews

Senior: My experience has been positive. I have enjoyed forming meaningful relationships with the staff memebers, learning about myself, and being able to utilize all opportunities offered. I have enjoyed particiating in numerous activities such as cross county, community service, and various retreats.
Brebeuf offers a diverse approach to teaching Catholicism to all students while maintaining a welcoming environment to all faiths. Brebeuf fully embodies their motto of "Men and Women for Others" through their kind hearted staff members, devoted administration, and dedicatied cleaning crew.
Over the past four years, I have been able to discover and rediscover myself through the education of the whole person which Brebeuf strongly encourages. From the timid freshman, to the now outgoing and sanguine senior, Brebeuf has provided wings allowing me to soar and discover my world.

University High School of Indiana

• Private School
• Carmel, IN
• 9-12
• 52 reviews

Junior: University High School is not the school for everyone, but it's perfect for the student determined to expand their horizons and improve. The freedom and variety of extracurriculars, along with the quality of academics, makes this school objectively great. However, one must keep in mind that UHS is a predominantly white Midwestern private school. Though many try not to be, students, and at times staff, can be elitist, cliquey, sheltered, and close minded. As a student from multiple marginalized groups, if UHS is otherwise a good fit, I wouldn't discourage other kids from marginalized groups to come here. However, I would especially advise them to hold their own, because while UHS is a great and supportive environment, they are going to need to.

Trinity School at Greenlawn

• 7-12
• 18 reviews

Alum: I loved going to school here! I was challenged and pushed but my teachers were all so supportive in their efforts to make me a better student. I learned so much about discipline and time management. Not only did I become a better student but, I also became a well rounded person. Trinity has no electives so every students takes all the courses! I never would have suspected that I would enjoy physics as much as I did!

Zionsville Community High School

• Zionsville Community Schools, IN
• 9-12
• 389 reviews

Alum: ZCHS is a wonderful school for students of all interests and passions. The staff is friendly, knowledgable, and pushes students to do their best. Additionally, there are clubs, activities, and courses to suit anyone wanting to become involved in their school or community. The biggest issue I have with Zionsville Community High School is the toxic culture of pressure on students to do exceptionally well academically and get into the best colleges, because not all students thrive in that type of environment. However, I know that the faculty has the students' best interests at heart and simply want them to succeed.
