Fargo Davies High School

• Fargo Public Schools, ND
• 9-12
• 92 reviews

Senior: At Davies High school, I am able to connect with my teacher, administration, and other students in a safe environment. I enjoy going to school here and I love the number of opportunities offered here. The newness of the school allows for a nice place to do school work and not feel disgusted by just walking in. The SRO at the school makes you feel very safe, he is very approachable as well as the other staff here at the school. The smaller class sizes allow for more one on one connection with the teachers. There are also a wide variety of classes to choose from as well as the opportunity to receive college credit in high school, of which is very important to me!

Oak Grove Lutheran School

• Private School
• Fargo, ND
• K-12
• 63 reviews

Senior: Oak Grove is one of the private Lutheran schools in the Fargo-Morhead metro area. Overall the main benefits to Oak Grove are the size of the school and the personalized involvement that comes with it. Oak Grove is a small school of a few hundred students in the high school (which is completely separate from the elementary school across town) which allows for a lot of unique oportunities to learn on a more personalized level, join a variety of activities, and get to know students and staff alike on a more personal level. Overall Oak Grove has had a profound impact on my own life and made me the person I am today, and i would highly recommend it to others.

Shanley High School & Sullivan Middle School

• Private School
• Fargo, ND
• 6-12
• 52 reviews

Senior: Wonderful faith based education where academics are top priority. Students are encouraged to be faithful savants while being challenged in college preperatory courses. Teachers and staff make themselves available to both students and parents providing a learning environment that teaches the total person. Engagement in extracurricular activities is encouraged with options ranging from athletics to music/drama and various clubs. I would highly recommend Shanley High School!

North High School

• Fargo Public Schools, ND
• 9-12
• 142 reviews

Alum: The academics are challenging if you want them to be, but for the most part are pretty easy. That being said, the teachers and curriculum are still good, and you'll learn a lot, just at a slower pace. There were two things I did not like about North High - the lack of diversity and the administration. There's not much that could be done regarding diversity, since the boundaries are already shifting south and soon students that live closer to South High will be feeding to North. The problem is that a lot of students live in an upper-middle class white bubble and seem to forget the privilege that lifestyle brings. The administration at North always bothered me, although I never had a means to speak up about it. One issue getting brought up by one student or teacher seems to spark the interest of the administration, leading them to overreach and try to solve "problems" that were never really problems, often through authoritarian means.

Ben Franklin Middle School

• Fargo Public Schools, ND
• 6-8
• 3 reviews

Senior: I rated Ben Franklin Middle School as above average, because it is. The teachers there cared not only about the education of their students, but their home lives. I was able to form bonds with teachers, that I had never before. I truly felt like I mattered. We also were taught to be a good person while we were at Ben. We did activities as a school where we would focus on standing up for others who can't and had lectures against destructive decisions.
The only thing that I would change about Ben Franklin, is the lack of leadership opportunities for students. While I was a student there, we had a club called Student Leaders, where we were able to organize events and volunteer, but I believe that there should have been more opportunities for students to get involved. If they were able to have more clubs and activities for their students, they would be able to learn responsibility and form connections early on.

South High School

• Fargo Public Schools, ND

• 237 reviews

Junior: I enjoy going to school at South and the many opportunities it offers. All the opportunities are sometimes overwhelming at times with all the clubs and variety of classes that there is not enough time for everything you would like to do. The teachers actually want to succeed and be successful in school and life. However, most of the athletic programs are not that great and most coaches only care about a select few players. The classes offered include a wide variety from many different electives to AP to duel credit, there’s something for everybody.

Sheyenne Ninth Grade Center

• West Fargo Public Schools, ND
• 9-12
• 65 reviews

Junior: I have been at Sheyenne High School, for three years now. The community within Sheyenne is very supportive and uplifting. In addition, the school spirit is outrageous. The majority of the school dresses up. During pep rallies, the bleachers are shaking from the band, and the students, and you can feel the excitement in the air. Furthermore, the teachers are caring, and understanding. Students build amazing connections with teachers. It allows students to feel comfortable asking, and talking to the teachers about anything. Some things that could change though, includes the capacity of students. Currently, Sheyenne is overcrowded. Due to the growing population at Sheyenne, getting from class to class takes longer.

Senior: I enjoy the student and teacher relationships here at Kindred. I know that if I have a question or concern, I can go to a staff member and they will try to help me through it. I believe that the teachers are fully invested in our success as students and as people in the real world. One thing that I would like to see improved in the future is equality and fairness between all students. It seems at times that specific students receive more opportunities or leniency from the higher ranked staff.
