  Rating 4.02 out of 5  234 reviews

Senior: My school has so many opportunities for a variety of career choices that help you figure out your future early. My school prides them self with testing high every year for state testing, which I think benefits the level of education you are given. If you have different struggles the teachers and administrators want to see you succeed and will help you any way they can. Having classes for all people's interests and being able to start any club that you want also helps with involvement in school.... Read 234 reviews

Senior: Crowded hallways, short passing periods, and packed parking lots would be the main negative aspects about my school. However, my schools environment is very welcoming. The teachers and most students are accepting of others and supportive in helping one another. The best part of my high school experience is participating on the girls soccer team. This activity has brought me lots of long time friends and memories which I will be forever grateful for.... Read 250 reviews

Senior: I liked the academic atmosphere at O'Gorman! However, some unnecessary rules were put in place. For example, students are required to attend Mass every Sunday, and you must not talk during the Masses with friends. The school is really fun but a bit odd with rules.... Read 153 reviews

Alum: Washington High School was a great place to go to high school at. It has one of the most diverse groups of people at in the Midwest. If I remember correctly, there are over 30 languages spoken at Washington High School on a daily basis. The people there are nice. There's a lot of different options as a student there to get involved within the community. There's tons of different student clubs you can join ranging from the arts to DECA to quiz bowl to yoga club and many more! They have a lot of opportunity to take challenging classes that will help you succeed in the academic realm as well. I took a lot of AP classes that gave me college credits once I graduated. I highly recommend either those or dual credit courses you can take through the school to anyone looking to further their education once they graduate high school. One thing they took pride in is trying to get all students to graduate within the four years expected of high school students.... Read 331 reviews

Alum: I took the hardest classes I could throughout all 4 years of high school. Since I graduated this year, I have yet to experience college. However, high school to me was quite exciting. Going to class everyday inspired me to learn as much as I could. The teachers are great at teaching and are amazing mentors. I enjoyed not just the academics, but also events that the school hosted and the extracurriculars that school made available. I participated in clubs such as DECA, HOSA, SALSA, Track, Student Council, Chess Club, Spanish Club, NHS, SNHS, and NHD, where I made many life-long friends. And events such as Homecoming and formal allowed me to embrace school spirit! Going to Roosevelt High School enabled me to find my purpose in life and I could never really imagine going to a different high school.... Read 420 reviews

  Rating 4.11 out of 5  125 reviews

Senior: There are a lot of opportunities for education at Harrisburg. They offer both DC classes and AP classes, and a variety of fun electives. Teachers can be hit or miss, but I’d argue that most are great and very understanding of both the student and the students home life situations. It is in the middle of nowhere, surrounded by cornfields, and snow can be a problem in the winter. Nothing too terrible, though!... Read 125 reviews

Senior: Tea Area is very good with helping their students with problems they may have. There are a lot of connections and possibilities that are available to you. The school is great on giving time to students athletes so they can get their work done properly and on time. I like Tea's opportunities with Dual Credits and the possibilities of in person Dual Credits. I think that Tea could improve on their teachers and academics, my freshman-junior year science classes I did not learn a whole lot. Our access to information on our basic classes could use improvement.... Read 59 reviews

Senior: While attending Tri-Valley, I have not only gained knowledge for my future but built relationships with peers and faculty. Being K- 12, I can connect with everyone and show the younger generation how to be a good role model. Tri-Valley has numerous clubs and organizations to join. These organizations include NHS, FFA, FBLA, FCCLA, Student Council, and Mentoring. I have learned what it means to be a friend, an active member of my community, and a hard worker—all valuable skills for my future. I feel ready to take my next step, whether secondary education or straight into the workforce. I am confident that I will succeed in whatever path I choose.... Read 48 reviews

Senior: I think Luverne High School is a great school. There are plenty of activities to get involved in. There are quite a few things to do at Luverne that are not sport related. There are students of many different ethnic and religious groups. We are constantly encouraged to do our best in everything we do.... Read 42 reviews

  Rating 3.99 out of 5  90 reviews

Senior: I've loved going to high school at West Central. I've been going there my whole life, and, although my experience hasn't been perfect, I wouldn't change it for the world. The extracurricular activities are great, and teachers truly try to prepare students for college. However, I don't think administration does a good enough job keeping the school safe and being involved with their students. If they want students to respect them, then they need to respect students and earn their respect. Many teachers are high quality, and they seem to actually care about their students. I've had teachers that have definitely changed my life. Especially Advanced Placement teachers, they truly do a great job teaching and giving resources to students so they can use their knowledge in practice. I would love to see more passion from staff. Students' enthusiasms have dropped over the years because their successes aren't celebrated like they used to be. With these changes, West Central can improve.... Read 90 reviews

Not only do you get to know your classmates, but you get to know the whole student body too. Plus you get to personally know all your teachers and the staff here at CHS. The school just built its first ever performing arts center and its amazing! We are well known for our arts and wrestling programs.... Read 44 reviews
