We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Byron High School was pretty good, the culture is great and teachers are awesome. They could definitely work on communication with families and students though.

The staff truly cares about the students and wants them to be the best they can, in and out of the classroom. Byron does an excellent job at including the community in what we are doing in the schools. Another thing that they want us to focus on is giving back. At the high school we do many things that give back to our community such as community clean up day, and different giving back weeks that we give proceeds and goods to places in need.
