I personally think overall zanesville is great public school. The only issue I had with the school is when I went to a vocational school my junior and senior year. They didn't invite us to there events anymore so I had to drive to an hour away to the vocational school and an hour back just to go to the home school event.

I physically attended ZHS from my freshman to junior year before going to our community college for my senior year. I enjoyed my experience for the most part, but it wasn't anything too special. The best part was being able to be a part of the CCP program and get college credit while enrolled in high school as it really prepared me for college. However it felt as if they didn't encourage students to do this. It felt as if they tried to persuade us not to at first. But I still did it and it was a great opportunity.

This School is Everything wrong with the American Education System...It's run more like a Prison and A NFL Simolator than an Actual School. Teachers here don't care about Students, A specially those learning Indifferent Ones, There just toss In a Special needs Classroom with an Uninspired Bad Teache...
