I would like to see the school take more accountability. They typically brush things under the rug and handle issues very quietly, often leading to the issue not being resolved. I loved the number of different activities and sports that were offered, and almost all of them were open to anyone.

Overall, Stow-Munroe Falls High School is a great place to be. While it has a reputation of being more of a "dump" school, it actually is very nice. The teachers and administrators at the school care for their students a lot. One thing that could be changed is the overall condition of the school could be updates, for example, the carpets, lockers, bathrooms, etc.

I can't speak on all of the guidance counselors, but if you have Mrs. Paul and she gets to know you, she is so incredibly helpful. Mr. Tr...

I took advantage of the many AP and Honors classes and found the teachers to be engaging and the courses challenging. Plenty of graduates matriculate at Ivy League a...
