Spring Lake High School is not a terrible place to go to school. It has decent food and the school is in a safe district.

I would like to see more diversity. It's hard growing up in a majority white school as a person who comes from a minority group.

4.0 Senior

3/28/2024

Overall, my time at Spring Lake High School was very nice. I never have felt unsafe, physically and emotionally, during my time here. I wish changes could be made to make up for the kids who do struggle. I am very grateful to have received the level of education I did through Spring Lake High School.

If you are a parent with a legit concern though, don't even try to address the school or board. You will be ignored. The security at this school is no...
