I've had two kids go K-12, one still in high school. I was speptical at first because I came from a very large school system out of state. I realized that the opportunities that a good small school far outweigh any advantage of a larger school system. The education the kids receive is second to none.
... Read more Yes, sports are big, so is the excellent music department. They also offer an outstanding speech program. I personally know of many kids who fit in fantasitically coming in the system later. My guess is that it is harder if you aren't interested in any of the major EC activities Treynor offers. As far as a student advocate--that is what the school board is suppose to do. As long as you go through the proper channels--teacher, principle, superindentant first. If your problem isn't resolved, then go to the school board. Read less

We are very happy with the academics, teachers, and the administration. However, this is is a small school and it's very difficult for new students to make friends with the already established groups.

I attended Treynor K-12, but it wasn't until high school that I decided I didn't enjoy the school. Elementary was fantastic, and is even better now because the programs and teachers have improved. However, programs for those that need special help should be improved. I have a friend in junior high that

People that don't fit the 'mold' or are different have a hard time getting a respected education. The same goes for sports - which are apparently more important at this school than an education. Additionally, I would say that if your child is going to be attending high school, please find someplace that is not as secluded and selfish, as Treynor is. Your child deserves an amazing education - something the disorganized teachers here can't provide. Read less

I attended Treynor for my entire education, K-12. Therefore, I never had to deal with the things that some 'outsiders' had to deal with. It is difficult if one does not fit it. However, that happens at all schools. Academics, sports, and extracurriculars are superb. The teachers are excellent.
... Read more They truly care about the success and well-being of each and every student. Although a lot of importance is placed on sports, academics do come first. Bad grades will put you on the bench, as will a bad attitude. Treynor is difficult academically but that is why so many go on to higher education. My younger sibling will go to Treynor and, even though it may have it's drawbacks, the positive far ourweigh the negative. Read less

First of all, sports are a big part of school, just like every school, its a proven fact that the more involed you are in sports the better your grades will be.

The people and students that gave the bad ratings are either parents that are mad about there kids getting bad grades or kids that can't handle the challenge Treynor provides. I don't know who gave the last rating, but your kid really goes to my school, tell him to talk to the teachers, they will definately help him out, it's no one but the students fault if they don't want to learn. The opportunity at Treynor is great, and recommend it to all newcomers. Read less

I went to Treynor my whole life up until High School because my parents were divorced. I could have stayed at Treynor and open-enrolled, but I decided to change schools because a greater part of the people who go there are snotty and stuck on themselves. I would rather go to a school where I don't
