  1. Parkview High School

    • Springfield R-XII School District, MO
    • 9-12
    • 152 reviews

    Senior: Parkview High School was a great experience for me. I made many connections with not only my peers, but as well as my teachers. I made some of the best memories with my teachers, they truly helped me grow as a student and as a young adult. There are things that could improve, but the administration is trying everyday to make Parkview a better and safer school, and I thank them for that considering my younger brother will be there for two more years. But overall I love my high school years!

  2. Aurora High School

    • Aurora R-VIII School District, MO
    • 9-12
    • 38 reviews

    Senior: Overall, the teachers at Aurora High School go out of their way to make sure every student gets the best education they can provide. The teachers not only teach you, but they are also there for you when you are in need. They are willing to meet with you outside of school to better grow your education. What needs to be changed about the school is the communication between the district. There is a lot of miscommunications concerning grading.

  4. Fordland High School

    • Fordland R-III School District, MO
    • 9-12
    • 19 reviews

    Senior: Despite the long history that me and Fordland have, I have really enjoyed my time here. The classes are all simplistic enough, but offer enough challenge for anyone willing to pursue them. The teachers are either the best you'll ever have or the absolute worst, there really is no in between. Thanks to the small class sizes, you get to know everybody really well, and there is plenty of opportunity to meet friends for life here. Overall, I really enjoyed my experience here.

    • 9-12
    • 13 reviews

    Senior: What i like about Marion C Early was they're inviting they let you in. They get you ready for anything you're not ready for. What i would like to see change is probably the amount of bullying.

    CATS Academy Boston

    • Private School
    • Braintree, MA
    • 9-12
    • 14 reviews

    Senior: Very much like the school diversity and academic approach. It has a lot of international students from different countries, and a strong sense of community between all the people. As for academics, you can choose from a variety of different classes of different difficulty levels, which is very good for international students willing to stay in United States. College counseling service is great, even though they have a lot of students, they are doing a great job
