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.

I so far have really enjoyed my time at Mount Horeb High School but have noticed that there aren't as many English and math AP classes as compared to science and social studies.

I've had a great few years at Mount Horeb. With it being a smaller school, there's lots of room for one-on-ones with teachers while also having enough people to make lots of long-lasting friendships. There's enough a a diversity that people from many reaches can connect with others, but that also leads to some biases being taken with some staff towards some students. Overall, it's a great school and i'm going to miss going there after this year.

I graduated from Mount Horeb High School a few years ago and now just finishing up an Electrical Engineering degree from the University of Minnesota.

I honestly cannot stand this school, except for the music department. The teachers favor the students whose families have lived here for generations. Most people here are close minded and have no ambition and if you do, you're an outcast. This is not a high school for an artist or someone who wants...
