This is not a school if you want a college-ready high school education. Athletics are more vital to them than academics.

I have gone to Zane Trace since preschool. The main thing I would like to see change is food quality and anti-bullying measures.

My high school career has not been the best at Zane Trace High School. As a student in the music department, I feel the judgement from the rest of the school. I have openly heard teachers and students judge the marching band, and make fun of people in the band. I have had photos taken of me, I have been laughed at, and the school has done nothing to change this. Other than all of the bullying issues, the school is okay.

I went to this school my from elementery through high and had a wonderful experience. I don't understand why it has bad reviews. Sure it has some small issues, but all scools do. This is a great small school to send your children with amazing college readiness. Many of my classmates are now doctors...

I think the school is for the rich and wealthy. Land takes are out of this world and if your poor and live in this district, for get about spending times with your kid. You need a second job to pay for the greedy land taxes.

Zane Trace was a great place to grow up and learn at. Small enough classes to get to know your entire graduating class instead of walking graduation and wondering 'who is that'. The teachers care and push their students well.
