#1 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: I have absolutely enjoyed the past four years at Mayo High School. I came from a very small middle school, going into a high school with over 1,000 students, but everyone was so kind and welcoming that I quickly made new friends. There is always something to do at Mayo, whether it be sporting events, clubs and other ways to get involved. I myself was involved in sports, and for a couple of years I was apart of Mayo's volunteering club. If you can't find something that fits your interests, you always have the option to start your own club! Activities at Mayo High School are a great way to make friends, learn new things, and overall improve your high school experience.

#2 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Alum: One thing I liked the most about Century was the Academic support from other teachers and colleagues outside of class. It has a very welcoming environment. And also, being in a sports was very beneficial because teammates encouraged each other instead of trying to compete against each other. I personally has a very good experience at Century so there isn't really anything that I think needs a major change. Loved my experience!

#3 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: I like that the teachers will put extra effort to make sure the students are getting a good education and understand what they are learning. They will stay after school or before school to give you one on one help until you understand the material. I also like that the teachers and staff make you feel welcome as a student so school is more enjoyable throughout the day and less like a prison. The education and classes are also a plus, as I feel that they do a good job teaching the material. I have taken multiple AP classes, and I have learned a lot from those classes. One thing that I wish would improve is the variety of classes. Although there are still a lot of classes to choose from for St. Charles being a small school, I wish there were still a wider variety of classes.

Pine Island Secondary School

#4 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: Pine Island High School is a great school that provides students with every opportunity for success. The resources are available for students to do well in class and in extracurriculars, both academic and otherwise. It is a small school, but the students and teachers alike are extremely welcoming and accepting of each other. The only thing I don't like about the school is that there is very little follow up with students who are known to be struggling. A student can reach out to the counselor for help with grades or even with mental help and, in my experience and from what I have heard from others, those students are typically expected to simply deal with these things on their own. Other than that, though, its an amazing, well-funded school that produces a great number of intelligent, educated, driven young men and women.

#7 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: One of the best tips I can offer for physical distancing is to take some time to show yourself love. I know that sometimes we can all get so caught up in helping others that we may forget to take time for ourselves. The need for physical distancing and self care is evident in all of our lives, so why not combine the two. Give yourself an evening of pampering to reflect on your beauty and take some time to work on your self confidence. Be ready to enter society with a deeper appreciation of YOU!

#8 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Alum: Kasson-Mantorville is a very good school overall. However, there is very much a small town culture, with a big emphasis on athletics. There is almost no diversity, and while not a culture of outright bigotry there is ignorance. The facilities are beautiful, especially the Performing Arts Center. I loved the staff!

#10 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: I absolutely loved my experience at Stewartville High School! I moved to Stewartville when I was 10 years old, I was very scared to go to such a small school. Everyone has known each other for their entire lives. On the first day of school I realized that I fit right in. Everyone was so nice and accepting of the new kid. The teachers are all fantastic, and obviously enjoy teaching. The teachers in the district are there for you when you need anything whether it's about academics or life. The community in Stewartville is very lovely. The town comes together on many occasions, these occasions can be something as simple as a sporting event or a big as a holiday.

Chatfield Secondary School

#11 Best Public High Schools in Rochester, MN Area
Senior: For being in a town of under 3,000, Chatfield has been a great high school. There are some really great teachers here, even if not all are great. The teachers really enjoy teaching and it shows. Lots of clubs to get involved in and good coaches for the sports. It is really easy to get involved in many different clubs and sports due to the small size. School workload is perfect. There is a good amount of homework, but not a ridiculous amount. Lunches are not great, but also not terrible. I have not noticed any serious bullying going on. I've always felt safe. The school's always locked and it actually becomes a nuisance, which is not a bad problem. Lots of different class options from automotive literature to production engineering.

Kenyon-Wanamingo Senior High School
Kenyon-Wanamingo School District, MN

21 reviews
Niche User: If I was able to choose if I would go to Kenyon Wanamingo again, I definitely would. It obviously has its ups and downs, but every school has that. Many people think that KW is awful and too much drama, but it depends on what group of people you hang out with because I never dealt with that. I liked how small of a school it was because I was able to get to know all of my graduation class and the teachers. For how small the school is, there are plenty of AP and honors classes to choose from as well.

Their isn’t anything I would change about my high school!

Senior: Personally I had a great experience going to goodhue school. It is a very small and close knit community so you know everyone’s name and pretty much where everyone lived as well. The school is majorly connected through sports and much of the community is very involved and supportive as well. If a team goes to state the entire town shows up to cheer. Overall, a very mellow school that was an enjoyable experience

Parent: Both of our kids started at The New School in ninth grade, after eight years of public school. It was one of the best parenting decisions we've ever made. Everything about this school is terrific. The teachers are passionate, inspired, and inspiring. Small, topics-driven, seminar-style classes foster creativity and independent thinking, while the welcoming atmosphere makes everyone feel at home. Our two kids turned out to be very different kinds of learners, but both thrived at The New School. Our youngest graduates next year, and we'll be sad to think of not having that day-to-day connection. Can't say enough about this wonderful school!
