Senior: I have been at New Life Academy for 15 years and it has been an amazing experience! What I love most about New Life is the community and the many opportunities to try new things out and not be afraid to fail. Everything New Life does is centered around Jesus. The academics are strong, the school is safe, the teachers and faculty are caring, and sports teams are like a second family. Every graduate leaves the building prepared for the next step of their lives...Read 83 Reviews

Alum: Overall, Stillwater Area High School was a great environment to grow up in. I rarely had a teacher that I disliked and I always felt like there was somewhere I could go for any type of help. I understand that running a public school must be hard, especially as our budget was continually slashed during my time at the school, but the effects of that never hurt the students because of the administrations' efforts. It's a pretty campus and the outdoor facilities are great. One thing that is important to note is the pool is actually at the middle school, not the high school. So, if you're planning on joining a swim team or wanted to swim in gym class, middle school is where you'd be headed. The other really positive thing about Stillwater is the arts program. Whether it's theater, visual arts, or music, Stillwater excels in all of those fields and being involved in those was one of my favorite parts of high school...Read 457 Reviews

Parent: I love everything about Templeton Academy! They are very supportive of my son's challenges and provide it when needed. The teachers are team players with the parents as well. The project based curriculum is awesome! It gives the students the chance to learn to work as a team and also use critical thinking skills. The class schedule is unique as well where the student will take 2 courses per semester for 10 weeks and still get all their required credits. Even though school is virtual right now, my son has met some friends. Oh and the class sizes are nice and small. Another thing I love about Templeton is how they praise the accomplishments of their students. My son is featured on their social media pages for winning 2 scholarships for being a philanthropist. I highly recommended Templeton Academy for a middle and high school choice. You won't be disappointed!...Read 25 Reviews

Parent: My three children graduated from West Lutheran High School in 2017, 2019 and 2021. They excelled academically and benefited from individual attention when needed due to the low teacher to student ratio. I can confidently confirm that they were more than ready for the rigors of college. While at West Lutheran they also had the opportunity to explore and experience the many and varied extra curricular activities. Being involved in multiple sports, national honor society, drama, choir and band enabled them to grow in confidence, leadership and team building skills. I am sure they would have loved to be involved in the newly launched STEM program, state champion bass fishing club, and successful robotics team! As a parent I appreciated the family atmosphere of the school. Direct access to faculty - even after hours - was a huge plus. All of my children found life long friends - either older or younger. Keep up the great work West!...Read 58 Reviews

Parent: We love so much about Trinity. The teaching is unparalleled - we've never seen teachers who have such a love for teaching and know how to foster creativity and curiosity in students. The environment is warm, welcoming and very comfortable. The structure allows students to thrive and explore. The small class sizes keep students engaged, and they really have an opportunity to get to know each other. If I could do school again, this is where I would go. I can't imagine sending our kids anywhere else!...Read 83 Reviews
