I've been going to this school for two years now, and I can honestly say it is amazing. The coursework is easy to handle (even if you're taking honors or AP classes!), the teachers are very reliable and you can always ask them for help, and it's easy to make friends. However, they need to bring back flex time and I HATE SMARTPASS. It does absolutely nothing and most people just get their friends to turn off their passes for them. The teachers also need to give out less busywork and give us more work time for important assignments.

Eden Prairie High School should be recognized for their ability to overcome obsitcles. From navigating to online schooling for Covid, to making a full recovery as soon as possible for the next students to come in was outstanding. I enjoyed going to Eden Prarie High School, as they are positive, inclusive, and attentive.

I go to the online school and really like the way the teachers are involved and the different courses you can take. It can be hard to get responses to your emails from teachers so sometimes you have to guess when you have questions.
