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

The best and worst parts of my experience at Zane Trace High School would be simple and hard to answer at the same time. The best parts would be my athletic experience, I am a 4 year varsity softball player. Another good part of this school would be the classrooms, each teacher will help you individually if you just ask and want to make time to better yourself. Now to the worst parts, I don't have much to complain about other than the lunch food. The food isn't the best but it's school lunch so I can't complain too much. Overall, this is a great school if you pack your lunch.

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

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.
