Senior: Wichita Collegiate School is a truly fantastic establishment that provides a one-of-a-kind education. I have attended Collegiate since preschool, and I am forever amazed at the level of care and dedication each and every teacher and faculty member possesses. The school provides a positive learning environment and boundless opportunities for its students. Not only does Collegiate have stellar academics, but they also have so many other experiences to enrich the life of each and every student- whether they are in preschool or a senior in high school! Sports, fine arts, vocal music department, band, and the amazing STEM building and innovation labs provide a unique experience. Our teachers expect our best efforts and the students expect their teachers to be willing to help with every step. Collegiate students are no strangers to challenges. Our school motto, Probe Te Dignum, translates to "Prove Yourself Worthy." The students at Collegiate display this motto throughout their schooling.... Read 38 reviews

She LOVES the caring teachers, the music and arts programs, and the after school and summer activities. As a parent, I am so grateful for the one-on-one attention she has received math and reading, and for the curriculum, which instills confidence with skills like writing and public speaking.

Parent: My husband graduated from FMS in the 90s and both of our sons graduated from here ('16 & '20), as well. I love what this school did for each of my men! The leadership skills they each learned at Fishburne gave them what they needed to excel in every aspect of their lives. I love this place so much that I moved from my home state of North Carolina to live in this amazing community and to work for Fishburne. I can't imagine a better place to work, live, and learn!...

Senior: Kapaun Mt. Carmel is the second Catholic High School in Wichita Kansas. Kapaun Mt. Carmel Catholic High School seek to provide opportunities for all students to be successful in their educational endeavors. The school is committed to preparing the most academically gifted students to attend the most prestigious national universities, KMC are equally committed to effectively serving our diverse student population with curricula that are realistic for all levels of learners.

Freshman: The small environment creates an opportunity for students to form better relationships with the majority of their classmates. Teachers are very friendly and you can have more one-on-one instruction time. Teachers care more about your understanding of a topic rather than just learning the material to do well on a test. Overall, it is a very welcoming school, and with all of the classes, it broadens one’s worldview. Students are given the opportunity to grow in their faith and grow in knowledge of their savior. This school has a lot of work, but when the time is put in, it is truly rewarding.... Read 5 reviews

Works Here: Life PrepAratory Academy can be a great place to study! As with most things in life, you get more when you put more of yourself into it. I have seen so many students come here, apply themselves and go on to thrive in colleges and careers. They return to say they attribute their success to the foundation that was established here at Life Prep. Our students also praise the opportunity they have to experience the unique diversity we have at the school. Where else can a teenager come in contact with students from over 20 different countries?! Additionally, teachers truly care about the students and try their best to prepare each person for whatever he or she chooses to do after leaving here. The administration and staff are continually looking for ways to improve the culture and the educational quality of the school. This is an excellent educational opportunity for students seeking a quality education!... Read 40 reviews

Senior: Bishop Carroll is an excellent highschool for anyone to attend. We have many clubs and activities for all types of people including game club, anime club, many different language clubs, art club, and more. Our sports have been very high standing throughout the history of Bishop Carroll. Not only are our sports amazing, but so are our music and arts. Our Choir always goes to contest and achieves very high scores at state. Our musicals also do very well. We have even had a lead musical role win an award as best lead role to win a full ride scholarship. Due to covid 19, it was more difficult to have many activities, but we still stood strong.

Senior: Valley Center High School is sitting in the middle of four farm fields but does not look how anyone would expect it to actually look. My school is a very nice and spacious school that gives plenty of resources for any after school activities needed. The school food is actually quite delicious for being the basic school food. The administration always acts right away for any action. Over my past four years, I have witnessed at least seven teachers leave. All of my favorite teachers. They happened to be my favorite because they were so good at their job, teaching their subject. Something I would change about my school would be adjusting and listening to teachers needs. I could never imagine myself going to a different school.... Read 124 reviews

Senior: I transferred to Sunrise Christian in August of 2019. My previous school experience was absolutely horrific. I was anxious about starting a new school in my junior year, no friends, harder academics, etc. I joined the volleyball team and instantly all my fears vanished. I became friends with some of the most amazing girls ever! The welcome didn't end on the volleyball court. Everyone from faculty and staff to students was so inviting and genuine it made the whole process extremely easy. I am now a senior and have grown both academically and spiritually. I genuinely love going to school, I never have to worry about drama, bullying, or worrying about what others think. I would recommend anyone and everyone to enroll at Sunrise Christian Academy....

Parent: I have had a very positive experience with CTE. My son was diagnosed with ADHD in 2nd grade and he sometimes struggles with certain structures, in the classroom. He often felt belittled and berated by the 3rd grade teacher, at his previous school, so I had him transferred to CTE and it made ALL the difference. He went from begging to stay home every morning to excitedly waiting to leave for school. The teacher’s are amazing. They went above and beyond to work with me to find strategies that worked for my son to make him more successful in the classroom. He is now a 6th grader, an honor student, and a lover of learning! Thank you, CTE Staff for the difference you make.... Read 2 reviews

Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!... Read 26 reviews

I like the fact that they try to get you involved in any little way they can wether that is sports, clubs, art, music, etc. The food in the USD 259 district definitely needs to improve because most students aren’t used to eating anything like they serve and it doesn’t taste so satisfying to them.
