Senior: The classroom environment is small and therefore more focused on the students. The curriculum is intensive but manageable and beneficial because the teachers genuinely care about their subjects. There is a strong sense of community and I got lucky with my class, so my experience was nice.... Read 9 reviews

  Rating 3.73 out of 5  547 reviews

Junior: Grand Blanc is widely known for its many achievements in sports. The staff is friendly and willing to help with issues students or parents might have. Most of the teachers at Grand Blanc have no issue taking the extra mile for their students. Most teachers are kind however, there is some that act like they don't want to be at school. I understand why they would feel that way. Several students will disrespect staff and put their peers in harm's way. The school does what it can to handle this issue, but they can't control how students act. With two campuses, Grand Blanc has plenty of classrooms for students to learn. This school is working on an athletic center to provide a better facility for the sports teams. Just like every other school, the music programs are neglected. As a member of the choir, we are a talented group. it would be nice to show our talents in a better setting. The auditorium is bad for music. The music programs would be better if we could perform in a better space.... Read 547 reviews

Alum: Flushing High School was an outstanding school. They provided us students with so many opportunities for our future careers. They offered, as one example, students to go to another institution during the day called, Genesee Career Institute. This institution allowed students to start studying in areas that were specific to their future career goals. I, for instance, started in their Medical Career Foundations course my junior year of high school and continued through my senior year and received a Full Ride Scholarship from it! I thank God every day for giving me the chance to attend Flushing High School, for all the great opportunities and people I met as well. The faculty and staff at Flushing High School were so motivated to help their students odo well and succeed in life.... Read 347 reviews

Alum: The experience I've had at this school was astronomical! The staff, students, and environment all made me feel included and no one ever lets you down. at Chesaning union high school everyone is family, we all looked out for each other when we needed it most. The thing I loved most about Chesaning was the fun sporting events there, such as football, track, softball, swimming, and so much more! Events like this always gave something for me and my friends to make memories of that I can never forget. the only thing I would consider changing in the school is there food. Sometimes the food wasn't the greatest but they still had some really good foods as well!... Read 95 reviews

  Rating 4.02 out of 5  62 reviews

Senior: New Lothrop is an amazing school for its size, easily punching above its weight class in both academics and athletics. In my 6 years at New Lothrop, I have never had a poor experience with a teacher, and it is safe to say that everybody at the school wants success out of each student. In sports, New Lothrop has some of the best teams in the area, and many options are available. The community is very close-knit yet approachable, and issues such as fights are extremely rare. The only complaints I have personally are based around the old and sometimes lacking technology infrastructure, science labs, and physical activity areas. However, the school administration plans on upgrading much of the school, fixing many of the issues. The food at the school is slightly above average in comparison to most high schools, though nothing to write home about. In regards to diversity, the school is primarily white, but with both exchange students and diverse students, there are never any issues.... Read 62 reviews

Senior: I’m currently a senior at FHS and I will miss this school once I graduate. The class sizes are big enough to meet lots of new people when you start here, but small enough where you are not overwhelmed with people in sports, at sporting games, and in classes. We have lots of school spirit, and love to have fun. As for the classes themselves, there are some really amazing teachers, and there are some that are just okay. But, you’ll always have someone to help you (whether it be a friend or a counselor) and will overcome it. As a participant in multiple clubs, AP classes, and IB classes, i can proudly say FHS offers a lot. While I do wish that we offered more AP classes, I think it’s nice that we do have online AP’s as an option. Overall, FHS is a great school and I’m proud to be a Fenton tiger.... Read 180 reviews

Junior: Your Davison High School experience relies on you. I believe if you work hard, make friendships, and throw yourself out there you’ll have a great time attending this school. There’s so many diverse clubs and other groups you can join. Teachers are normally friendly and willing to help students who seek it out. However, if you slack off and isolate yourself you’ll have a awful time. Davison helps students who work hard flourish, if you ignore these teachers persistence you’ll find behind very easily....

Senior: A tight-knit community with a town full of kids with aspirations of becoming important. Brandon is a school who is willing to help those kids. With many option to obtain those goals Brandon has a diverse collection of oppertunities that vary for any kid who attends. Whether it be any STEM program, Musical/ Art, Sports, and Humanities. There are classes that can really change a student's perspective on what they want for their future. Though the school is not exposed to cultural differences, there are teachers who truly care to educate kids who want to explore whats beyond their own small quiet town. Brandon being a school with less than 1,000 kids gives them the freedom to explore what they may be intrested in while also being able to pursue and grow in those activities. Throughout the years, Brandon has always been known to be a close family of students, where they grow and learn together which inturn creates lasting friendships, hopeful futures, and lifelong memories....

Covid hit hard my sophomore year, but we were able to transition to online learning without total chaos. This school has taught me so much, and is such a great place for out students in the area to aspire towards success. There are so many opportunities that they administration and teachers provide, so it’s nice to know that others want you to succeed as well! I wouldn’t say that my High School experience was “perfect” but it’s flaws are what allow me to appreciate that positive elements even more.... Read 227 reviews

Through student council, we raised food, money, laundry detergent, and more for our community. Through nation honors society, I was able to serve my community through volunteering at my church and dance studio.

Senior: During my time at Birch Run High School, I have made countless connections and close relationships with those around me and have made so many great memories that have shaped me into the person I am today. All of the teachers and administration care about you greatly and they make that known with the way they talk to students and how they go out of their way to help them. They want to know about your personal life, personality, and well-being and this creates an overall very tight-knit, safe, and caring learning environment for all. I have gone to Birch Run schools my entire life and have never wanted to be anywhere else, it feels like a home away from home. My mom had even taught at the elementary school for 30 years and I loved all of the late nights helping in her classroom and the memories my siblings and I made playing around the school and the playground after hours. Overall, I would recommend anyone to Birch Run High School and I wouldn't change my experience for the world.... Read 87 reviews

During this pandemic year, it has been difficult to bounce back and forth between in person and online, but the teachers do understand how hard it is and try to facilitate help when needed. Although, there has been a lot more homework during the pandemic which seems to stress most students out!... Read 209 reviews

Alum: I graduated Goodrich in 2017. My brother and sister both went there before me as well. So I have a great view of what Goodrich offers and what they could do better. I think the best thing about Goodrich is also the worst thing. Goodrich is such a small community where everyone is really close. Everyone wants to help each other in times of needs and are very supportive if someone goes on to be successful. But it can also be very dramatic since everyone knows everyone. There are situations in sports, administration, and other things where people get positions they probably shouldn't have gotten since they know somebody over somebody who was better. Also its a community that struggles to integrate new members in since the townspeople don't know them.... Read 152 reviews

  Rating 3.51 out of 5  90 reviews

Junior: I'm currently a junior at Lake Fenton and strongly believe that I have had a wonderful education, however, due to the small size of the school district, I haven't had access to as many opportunities as students at larger districts have had. The building is relatively new and staff and students do their best to keep the facility clean as well as a welcoming place for students. The various teachers always do their best to make sure that students are engaged and understanding the material, but we have a much smaller range of available classes than schools that are larger. Also, our sports teams are generally pretty average and have a lot of support from the community, but we don't have a very large variety. Although the school district is quite small in comparison to neighboring districts, the overall community and atmosphere of the school is wonderful.... Read 90 reviews

Senior: What I loved about corunna High school was the opportunity to be involved in a lot of community projects, with many people that I knew, and did not know. I also had the wonderful chance to dual enroll, so I could get college credit whole in high school. What would enhance my experience or possibly others, would be an auditiorium for our wonderful band program, or our dance team and choir. Sometimes the gym just does not project sound right, or there is no room! So I think that tiny little addition would open it up to more programs and help the current ones flourish....

Alum: Byron has its quirks, but it's better than most high schools around here. Because it's in such a small town, there aren't too many students who attend; my graduating class had maybe 100 students. The community is a bunch of kids who grew up together, teachers who watched us grow up, and staff behind the scenes who kept it all together, supporting us with all their hearts. Sure, sometimes the roof leaks. Sometimes, little plants grow in the corners where linoleum tiles broke and revealed the soil beneath. Maybe I did spend my high school years cringing through potholes in the parking lot (it was finally re-paved... AFTER I graduated). But, I'm grateful for the years I spent there. I wouldn't have met my best friend, or discovered my passion for environmental science in STEM class, or made happy memories in choir and drama club if I hadn't gone there. Byron is a diverse, unique, and humble place where great people begin their stories.... Read 87 reviews

Senior: My experience at Carman-Ainsworth High School has been life-changing I discovered a part of me that I wouldn't have discovered if I wasn't at Carman with the community that has have grown and came to be a part of. The diversity of different backgrounds and caring for everyone's education is always there and shown when I walk through the door of Carman-Ainsworth. I have friends who I have gotten to know over my years at Carman and teachers that I have gotten to know and trust with my dreams and goals in life with the life obstacles that I have surpassed. Carman-Ainsworth High School has been a school and a home for me over the years and for others. I am happy that I have the opportunity to be a cavalier at Carman and get to graduate.

Alum: I had an overall positive experience at E. A. J., and I would definitely recommend attending. I loved the teachers, and I found it easy to learn because the staff really cared about us. I graduated knowing that the staff truly cared about me and my peers and our success. The environment was friendly, and I knew that wherever I went in the building I could look to any of the faculty for support and a kind word. If I were to change anything, it would have been the unity of the students. The staff seemed to try their best in this aspect, but it seemed as though students were often coddled when they misbehaved instead of facing any real punishment, creating a line between those who followed the rules and those who broke them, because everyone really was treated the same regardless. It almost seemed as though there was no incentive to follows the rules and be respectful when there was no punishment for those who did the opposite. Overall, a positive experience....
