Senior: I have gone to Rochester High School since I was in kindergarten. My four older sisters before me also all went here along with my grandpa and dad. This school has prepared me for my future in college academically. They offer many college-level classes directly through the school and where students go to Lincoln Land Community College and take classes. The teachers are great at getting students excited about classes and learning. The athletics all around are good. This school is very competitive and pushes to be the best while keeping in mind the students and their academics. The fine arts program is also fantastic with a great choir, band, madrigals, and spring musical. Overall the past four years at this school have been a great experience that I will never forget and will always appreciate.... Read 91 reviews

Senior: Going to a private catholic school when you're raised in the public school system is a drastic change, but the teachers and resources here were very amazing! me and many other people of color students brought change to a school that wasn't used to diversity. i had a great experience because this gave me the opportunity to voice my opinion and speak up for myself. the administration here are very helpful and encouraging, other teachers won't care about your personal problems, but instead these teachers will reach out to you when they notice you aren't doing so good, that is why i love Sacred heart griffin....

Parent: Lutheran High is a wonderful school. The teachers really work to get to know each of their students on an individual level. The curriculum is challenging and definitely prepares them for college. There are also plenty of clubs, sports teams and other activities for the students to get involved in. Overall, the students and staff are friendly, welcoming and respectful. Great place!... Read 27 reviews

Parent: My children have been here since grade school. The teachers are excellent. They really care about the students. I also think the academic classes exceed those of local public and other private schools. Calvary size makes it feel like family.... Read 19 reviews

Parent: Our Savior's provides a quality education, dedicated staff, and opportunities to grow and learn. We have 3 children who have gone to/are still in Our Savior's, and we have never regretted our decision to send our kids there. They have found OS to be a safe place to learn, to value working hard to achieve, to respect others, and to grow in Bible knowledge and faith. You do not have to be a Christian to appreciate and value the characteristics of this Christian school-they work with families for the success of each of my children. There are so many extra-curricular opportunities - sports, drama, chess club, drone club, and music groups.... Read 1 review

Parent: This school is amazing. I have two children enrolled who love going to school. They have so many learning opportunities that other schools in the area do not offer. My kindergartner knows how to count in 3 languages and knows a significant amount of Spanish. My older child has gotten to learn Robotics, Spanish, Theater, Cooking and many other opportunities. Activities are available for all ages, with sports starting in 4th and 5th grade and various other activities such as spelling bee and music before then. Everyone is kind and the skills and values instilled in my children will help them thrive throughout their schooling and even into adulthood.... Read 1 review

Sophomore: During my year and a half so far at LLCC I have had a pretty good time learning and preparing myself for my future. I have have a few very excellent teachers that have helped me pass my class and learn about things that I was very curious to learn about. LLCC is an overall good school because it is more affordable then others but still has something that can be tough to pay sometimes. Overall it is a good school and I would highly recommend it!...
