Senior: Although I was in this school during covid times, it really shows how prepared a school is for anything. For many teachers, it was hard to teach online but for others, they used it to their advantage. Many teachers are very friendly and try their best to get to know a student on a personal level. They are always willing to help explain anything if you need help. The events are also very fun! Attending many different school activities helped my high school experience a better one and I’m glad I tried my best to get involved! The students are also very nice and open minded or are willing to learn.... Read 735 reviews

Freshman: Not only are the staff members friendly to students, they care about each individual’s success. The teachers I have been thankful to have in the past four years have taught me life skills and beyond what I could have dreamed of. All of my teachers were patient and understanding when subjects were difficult. The school grounds were always kept tidy and sanitized. I felt extremely safe at my school due to the security measures taken to make it a safe place.... Read 6 reviews

Alum: I loved my experience at Lakewood! It is such a tight knit community where you are truly known and cared for by your teachers and fellow students. During my time at Lakewood, I was able to be involved in so many activities ranging from sports, to the arts, to leadership councils. Lakewood also offers a great selection of Dual Enrollment and AP Courses. I went into college already a sophomore because I was able to earn so many credits through DE courses!... Read 80 reviews

Senior: I've been at Heritage ever since I was in Kindergarten and now I will be a Senior in High School! The quality of the school overall is excellent. You can tell how well the teachers truly care about and love their students! The elementary program is so wonderful and all the faculty are incredibly kind and nurturing. It should be noted that the school is not very racially diverse (although it has become more so in my time here) and there are cliques. For a private Christian school, the academics are great! Though Heritage does not offer the same spread of APs as larger public schools, there are still plenty of advanced course offerings and opportunities to take dual credit through colleges. The teachers are all willing to sit down and chat about any problems students could be having, whether it be in their personal or academic life. Overall, Heritage is a tight-knit community and a great school!... Read 168 reviews

Alum: Hamilton Southeastern High School was a very good school. The staff are incredibly welcoming and many go above and beyond their duties in order to help each student succeed. From the culture side, HSE has a wonderful student section and works super hard on spirit days to give the students something to look forward too. Additionally, the school works hard to help students recognize that school isn't all just about academics, it's about finding a work-life balance. Overall, this school met my expectations and is continuing to improve its educational and social experience for the students and years to come.... Read 698 reviews

Junior: Fishers High School was an amazing experience. From the class room, to pep rallies, to school dances. I loved every second! The art/music department is so well cared for with fantastic teachers. All the councilors there genuinely care about the students and do their best to help them as best they can. In the athletics department they make it clear that when you participate in the sports, there you are a, “student-athlete.” Which emphasizes that you are a student first. If you’re grades get too low, you can’t participate in your sport. Which helps many students to keep their grades up. Overall Fishers is an amazing school and if I could recommend people there I would to everyone.... Read 2 reviews

Alum: I loved the atmosphere and the high standards we were held to being in a private catholic school. Everyone was always so accepting of one another no matter how different each person was. The faculty made personal connections with every student and truly cared about where we were headed with our futures. Chatard was my home away from home where I knew people truly cared about my well being. I wouldn't change a thing, okay maybe to bring back the old chocolate chip cookies in the cafeteria! I can tell you that my children will be attending Bishop Chatard because I want them to have an experience like mine where you are proud every day to get to say where you went to high school. Being in college only a few hours away from my high school, it is an honor that when you say Bishop Chatard people recognize the name and the wonderful reputation this school has within the community....

Parent: Scecina's strength is its small size and strong community. For many kids, the opportunities to play sports is a top priority for choosing Scecina. Although it was not ours, our son has flourished in both varsity tennis and volleyball. He's enjoyed the feeling of being "known" in the school--by the staff as well as other students. He knows that he can talk to his teachers for extra help when he needs it, but he also knows that they won't let him slide by without a push to do his best. As it's a small school, there are some limits to the class offerings, which has been disappointing, but the fact that they carefor the student as a whole person is evident from the moment you step in the front door....

Alum: I attended The Williams School (TWS) in Ghent from second to eighth grade. It is without a doubt the most special and most rewarding educational experience I have had throughout my academic career which, to date, spans an undergraduate degree and a graduate degree. Small class sizes foster deep, long-lasting connections with peers, teachers, and other faculty and stimulate creative learning across the board. Faculty at TWS truly go above and beyond for each student and work tirelessly to make sure each student's individual needs are met. Their dedication builds a level of trust in other and in self that further empowers students to be proactive not only in their education, but also in their personal and social development. TWS provides extracurricular opportunities during a pivotal developmental period that, at larger schools, students may frankly not have the opportunity to fully experience (athletics, forensics, music); students are completely immersed. Truly a magnificent school!... Read 9 reviews
