Junior: Mayo High School is a great atmosphere for all students and staff. I currently am a junior at Mayo and I would not choose to be anywhere else but here! The student body comes together for so many different activities and events, and it really shows how big of a relationship we form with one another. There are so many different clubs you are able to join to find a sense of belonging and the support from staff is AMAZING! Teachers are always willing to sit down and meet with you one on one to figure things out, administration is very helpful is all situations and circumstances, and the guidance counselors go so far above and beyond to help you with mental/emotional help, college planning, scheduling problems, and so much more! I am able to choose classes that I think will push me enough as well as pick classes that are fun and engaging. I've also learned so many leadership skills and how to be more communicative with others. I am very happy that my parents sent me to Mayo!... Read 254 reviews

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!... Read 229 reviews

Junior: The education is fairly good, though they don't have a ton of options for higher level classes. They're expanding their reach as far as that goes with things like PSEO. The students could be better, but then again, it's a public high school.... Read 43 reviews

Senior: At John Marshall, I truly felt like I was seen and noticed by my peers and teachers. I have had a constant support system at all times throughout my now almost 4 years of high school which has helped me tremendously. Being in Band, AP classes, and other communities of students has also helped me reach out and meet new people from my community and honestly, I don’t know what my high school experience would be without band and the friends I’ve made along the way. Overall, my experiences at John Marshall High School have been very positive and the support I received throughout my soon-ending high school journey has been plentiful.... Read 235 reviews

  Rating 3.19 out of 5  36 reviews

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.... Read 36 reviews

Senior: I loved my teachers at PEM they were always there for me when I needed them and always gave me good advice. Another thing I liked was the class size, my class is just over one hundred students. This made it supper easy to know everyone and have multiple friends! Their isn’t anything I would change about my high school!... Read 85 reviews

Senior: Zumbrota-Mazeppa Senior High offers an astoundingly diverse range of subjects for its size. My graduating class is less than 90 students yet extracurricular include track, football, softball, wrestling, FFA, NHS, Students Against Destructive Decisions, competitive theater, choral, and band groups. Classes are in diverse fields, especially in language arts, and I have been encouraged to augment my education through online credits that are added to my transcript. Counselors are responsive to requests for aid, and have assisted me in large quantities of short notice scholarship paperwork quickly and efficiently on multiple occasions.... Read 62 reviews

Alum: The music and arts/theater programs at KM high school were well-funded and greatly supported by the community. As well as our sports and academic teams. Most teachers here were the best I've ever worked with and they always treated us with respect. Our science, arts, math, and language programs were above and beyond those of the other schools in the surrounding area. The choir program has been going downhill there for the past few years, but the band program is amazing and growing with every graduating class of kids! Overall, I enjoyed my time at KM. It's not the most ethnically diverse school. Even so, I felt as if EVERYONE was treated the same and with great respect.... Read 115 reviews

Senior: I have had a successful high school career at Goodhue. I have attended Goodhue since kindergarten. What I love about the school is the small class sizes and the close knit feel between students and the community. The support that the community has for the school in academics and athletics is outstanding, and leads to many students to success in these areas. What I would like to see more from Goodhue is more opportunities for students to take weighted classes or college courses.... Read 16 reviews
