My kids have had a great experience at Southwest. The block schedule moves through the material more quickly, but students then have only 4 classes at a time to keep track of. There is pretty even focus between the arts and athletics. The administrators are approachable and expect the best out of ea
Posted by a parent on 10/11/2022Southwest is a very well built school. All of the staff really cares about every single student that attends Southwest each and everyday. Southwest has a big virility of sports, clubs, and activities to get involved in. Along with only having four classes a day is amazing.GO SOUTHWEST SILVER HAWKS!!
Posted by a student on 8/26/2021This school is amazing! The school leadership and staff are skilled, caring, and dedicated to each and every student! I’m not certain why Southwest is only rated 3 out 10- each year Southwest students:- graduate at an approx. 92-93% rate.- outscore peers at the local, state, and national levels in B

Posted by a parent on 3/12/2017I was fortunately enough to atttend LSW during my year as an exchange student in Lincoln. I loved every single second at southwest. They gave me the opportunity to become the person I am today.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe have had a very positive experience at Humann in the 4 years we’ve been attending. The staff is open to feedback and responsive to concerns of parents, doing their best to accommodate and adjust as they can and explaining the reasoning behind decisions. There are lots of events for families to participate in and get to know other families, many hosted by the PTO. We have found a great community here. Teachers and staff seem to enjoy being at Humann, get along well and make the day fun. We started with a different principal in place and while they have different style of leading, both my child and us parents have liked them both.Parent Review1y ago - Adams Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school has gone downhill fast. When our kids started at this school 4 years ago, the quality of education was top notch and the leadership of this school and church was really good. However, over the past 2 years there has been a major change for the worse. Father Eric Clark seems to have made a direction change, where the church cares about its donors. This is also being seen since the arrival of the Curt Fellmeier started as Principal. The school and church are in lock-step with eachother that they are in it for the money. They have ramped up the shaming of families and the children. The school does not respond to bullying and acts like it doesn't happen when it is not only coming from the kid, the school staff AND teachers.This is the reason that this school is losing students. Unless you are old money or one of the in-crowd, you aren't welcome here.If you are looking for a private Catholic education, this school ISN'T where you want to send you kids. It isn't worth the money.Parent Review2y ago - Good Shepherd Lutheran School
