At Shakopee High School I have personally never had a bad experience with a teacher. All of my teachers have built relationships with students and made sure to help us get to where we need to be in that class. I feel seen at this school.

School was laughably easy does not prepare you for college no honors section either for students who don't think their ready for AP classes but think regular classes are too easy. Biggest con is the academics if you live in Shakopee go to prior lake it's better academics wise

The way the school is set up is super helpful when students are getting ready for college. There is a lot of diversity throughout the school and clubs. We have so many activities for so many different students and we continue to upgrade our clubs and sports. Overall there are many different resources to help with anything you might need.
