I just graduated from Swenson last year and i miss it a lot. I miss going there to see my friends and teachers. Swenson has the 4th highest test scores than compared to other public schools. There are different career areas on which you can choose in 9th grade for 10th grade all the way until you graduate. I can't be more proud than to be a graduate from Swenson

I am a current student at Swenson and I graduate Next Year. The school has a few good shop classes like networking and auto but some teachers cant teach well because they cannot speak english very well

I went there for two years. The math teachers are ok and the electronics department is good but the rest of the school is a joke. It is a dangerous place to send your child.

My child is currently a student here and I could not be any happier with him and the school. I would recommend this school to anyone.
