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.

Nicolet has really changed me as a person. In my freshman year I mostly cared more about if I looked "cool to other people", but this year as a sophomore, I've started focusing way more on myself and school. I also moved up into a couple of honors courses for the first time and I'm doing pretty good, which shows the work is challenging but definitely doable if you try. Recently I moved out of the cafeteria to just eat in the lobby by myself to stay focused, plus I like that the school is chill and that I don't feel weird doing that. One thing I dislike is the 7:40 am start time, it's kinda early mostly because I personally wake up at 5-6am to get on the bus, and doesn't allow most teens to get the sleep they need. The school offers peer tutoring which is great if you want some help with a subject, and even though some teachers are scary, they always help once I build up the courage to ask. Personally Nicolet is the perfect place for me to start focusing on getting my life together.

The school is really great, from my experience. They prepare for college and what to come next,xt whiis ch great. The teachers and counselors are great helpers as well. They help me with classes are great for my career path. The classes Nicoletolet are great, we have many different opportunities here than in other schools. The worst would probably be sometimes the lunch, it's kinda nasty, not gonna lie, it's like healthy, so is the vending machine food too. Which I dont like because I want my normal snacks and food. Nicolet should change the food policyWe can't do DoorDash or any outside food because of the lunch program we have. They should also change the phone policy; they went over the top this year with that, and the MacBook tablets, etc. I think they should change when we start school because I hate getting up so early for school and waiting for my best to come.

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!
