A great renovated facility which I love. I appreciate the sacrifice from the Community to make our school better. The only area where we miss the mark at is that we have no Black teachers. The school is very diverse, but doesn't seem to attract talented Black professionals.

When I first went to Nicolet, I'm not going to lie I was intimidated. I came from a small middle school with 30 people in my class to a high school with over 400. Once I adjusted to Nicolet it was such a great school. The teachers were always nice, the work was hard enough to prepare for college. Our school just had a 31 million dollar renovation.

My time at Nicolet has been very good, especially with STEM activities and classes. I'd like to see a more competent administration, but overall the school has been great.

My child graduated last year. She didn't like her overall experience. She's a minority and felt as though all four years. She and many students of color felt isolated and were purposely isolated through their tracking system. This system pegs them by race and test scores and keeps them in segregated...

Great school! My sister is a senior and will be going to college next year and I have enjoyed watching her group up as a knight. I will be a freshman next year. I am very excited and I rate it a very good score!
