St. Ansgar High School is an amazing, welcoming, and accepting school. As soon as you step foot on St. Ansgar High School grounds, you will feel a sense of belonging in such a great environment. I moved to St. Ansgar my sophomore year of high school. I was nervous about being the new girl in a completely new area, but I was immediately welcomed in by a great group of girls who happened to be in my grade. St. Ansgar High School has helped me get out of my comfort zone, try new things, and not be scared to be who I really am. I wish St. Ansgar High School had more students so more people could experience how amazing St. Ansgar High School really is.

St. Ansgar High School is a great place for kids to go to school. The extracurricular activities are some of the best in the state. There is great involvement from the parents and teachers. We are not as diversified as other school districts.

They need to focus more on prepping students for the outside world instead of just prepping to pass tests.

Positive overall. Some of the teachers are not effective educators. There are abundant opportunities for students to get help with their studies. Music program is in a decline.
