I think that Eagan is a very mediocre school with bad standards. Their productions are ok, and after school activities are mediocre as well. The offer very less honors classes, making it hard for a student to keep an honors ranking, when compared with students taking 5-6 honors classes every year. In my opinion, between Eagan, Apple Valley, Rosemount, and Eastview, any other school would be better...
The school does not cater to everyone, often neglecting the needs of academic achievers. The coursework is not diverse and does not offer many advanced or honors classes. Many of the teachers are mediocre and the school is not socially or economically diverse. The typical student is one who takes average classes, is greatly social, and has no concern for matters outside of his or her little bubble financed by the parents. If you like to party, stay well dressed, and criticize those who favor academics, then this school is a perfect fit. However, academically gifted students looking for opportunities will probably be better suited at another school. But that's not to say that I haven't had great moments while attending the school. Some of the best teachers I have had are from this school, but those instances are much too rare to consider the school as a favorite of mine
My daughter graduated in 2009 and was recognized by colleges being a graduate of Eagan High School. It has a stellar reputation amongst some of the finest colleges. She was well prepared for college after having attended EHS. Dr. Reikowski is the heartbeat of that school and is an amazing principal and person. She has created a great staff. Great community/parent involvement, respectful student body. Fantastic school!
Through class size expansions, lackluster attention to students, and an no attention to frivolous budgetary decisions, I am embarrassed to attend a school that cannot support the interest of any student.
This school is great, the technology is up-to-date and even advanced in most areas. the educators are knowledgeable and the facility is quite well kept. even though Eagan is not known for there athletics, their Speech and Debate teams are nationally ranked, as well as the their Drumline which is also nationally acknowledged
I think that Eagan prepared me for life in more ways than any other institution I've ever experienced. I loved every teacher I ever had there and always felt like they cared about me. I was challenged to do my best. Also, I feel very luck to have gone to a school in which the arts were such a priority. I was given a lot of great opportunities in theatre and choir, two activities which I have carried on to my later life due to the encouragement I experienced at EHS. I love Eagan. I still go back to visit some of the greatest people ever... like Schafer, Melchior, Wartman, Anker, and Pehl.
I don't agree about the diversity. My son has friends of all races, and they respect each other and enjoy plenty of activities together.Unity club has been especially satisfying for my son. Do agree abut the recycle bins...lets get more green Wildcats!
This school has no diversity, compared to other schools I have attended. I have heard a great deal of racism as well. The curriculum is easy when one applies themselves, otherwise the student is left to fail. Counselors have so many students I don't feel they believe in their students. Finally, I do not see recycling bins in the classrooms, hallways, or lunch rooms, that needs to change.
Eagan High is a great school, with excellent electives.
Very good school with very good teachers witht he exception of a few like roncheck, madson and others besides the fact that the construction is taking a up a lot of space the school is becoming more crouded then it already was but it should be better.
