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!... Read 22 reviews

Senior: I came to Penn from both its elementary school and it’s middle school but previously to that I had attended about 10 other elementary schools in the south bend/Nile’s District and it was a drastic change in environment. It involved a whole new breed of persons to adjust to and learn from and mostly everyone has known each other their whole lives, but the people that accepted me have now become my life long friend til this day and I appreciate them more than anything. The teaching is also very different from what I had been used to and a lot more advanced but the teachers really pushed me and now I’m where I am and I feel confident and comfortable. I’ve done 4 years of all the arts and been student assistant Since my junior year in the art rooms and that’s been very fun and allowed me to work on my art and receive awards which I never thought I could do but I did!...

Senior: I am very glad I chose to go to Marian High School. My favorite thing about school was dance. I have been on the dance team for the last 4 years. I love dance because I am able to compete with other dance teams in Indiana. I also love Marian because the teachers are amazing. They are great at preparing us for college and making sure that all students excel in their academics. I have been able to connect with a lot of my teachers since my freshman year, and I am so thankful for that opportunity. I was able to connect with my teachers by talking about the simplest things such as dance or my family members that attended Marian before me. The whole staff has really educated me on not only academic material, but also politics and religion. Through classes and being on the dance team, I have made so many friends throughout my 4 years. I am truly blessed to have the privilege to be a student at such a brilliant school!... Read 222 reviews

Junior: As a ongoing senior for my fourth year at Adams High School, I enjoy and appreciate the diversity Adams shows and the effort of being a multiculture school. As a student there, we focus a lot on our academics and improving our learning skills each day while being apart of clubs and sports. My past three years at being at Adams I've played sports and became apart of a fellowship in a club and enhancing my goals as National Technical Honor Student. Adam amin priority is making sure their students succeed and being comfortable with their pathways. They even gives students the oppurtunity do hands on work in their career pathway. It has opened up many doors for students and also invited students to become future interns once they graduate high school. It is very warming to know that they could show much courage and generosity towards their students. To know that the administration has your back is a great feeling overall.... Read 263 reviews

Alum: The school has good bones, but needs to work on equity and eliminate favoritism. The academics, sports, and music programs are stellar, however, the students involved in sports tend to get preferential treatment. I attended the school, and it was the same then. My daughter felt the same thing and dealt with bullying. The community is amazing, and growing up here and raising my child here was the best thing that could happen. My daughter ended up finishing out her high school career at the academy, which is still part of the school. This was a great opportunity and experience for her. The teachers were amazing and listened to her as well as helped her. This experience helped her to finish high school and get ready to attend a college for graphic design next year. I will always have a fondness for NorthWood High School and its teachers as it prepared me for my own career as a teacher. It instilled in me the qualities I wanted to have, and helped me become a great teacher.... Read 86 reviews

Parent: The school has been such a great fit for our family. Our kids went to public school through 8th grade. They choose to go to ECA for high school. They all love the experiences they got their. They enjoyed the academics, sports, and all activities that have made them well rounded. The teachers go out or their way to make great students and go out of their way to help students in anyway. The academics has gotten our sons ready for college. I believe my one son who is in college, would have failed if he did attend ECA to prepare him.... Read 45 reviews

Senior: Career Academy has changed my life for the better, but I do see many areas where they can improve. Parent involvement is very important and has been especially with my parents. There have been time when the parents are not the first person they contact when something happens. Other than that, I believe Career Academy is very good with their academics and college readiness. They have a program called the Early College program, which I am apart of, and it has prepared me for what my college classes will be like with also supplying me with college credits. I have a lot to thank Career Academy for, such as allowing me the opportunity to graduate with not only 3 diplomas but an associates as well. They have allowed me to be the best I can be and be the leader that I am.... Read 24 reviews

Senior: What I have liked about my experience at Mishawaka High School is the courses I have chosen to take. When I surrounded myself with people I enjoyed and teachers I really learned from, it makes the high school experience worth it. Students complain about how bad our school could be, but being teenagers I feel like we are hard to please. We are getting an education from a lot of teachers who try and the ones who do not try we manage to get by. I like being a caveman because of the history our building has and makes....
