School is bad, the food is trash, very unhealthy, impossible to eat, I and my friend have gotten diarrhea after eating there, I don't like this school, people don't like me, although I'm always trying to be positive to everyone and everything, half of my teachers don't even know what they teaching, a stupid and awful system of education. The worst and most disgusting situation is that the school now has cockroaches. Haha, I don't even know what to think about it all, that's awful. Probably now because of the last situation, I have no choice, but to change my school.

We've had two students coming from private middle school enter Topeka High with great success. These students have to option to go wherever they want because of their academic excellence, and they chose Topeka High. Best theatre department, best debate & forensics department, best vocal department, best art department, greatest diversity, tolerance, & inclusion. There is a place for everyone at Topeka High. My children are being well-prepared for college and life beyond high school. I would recommend this school to anyone and would not want my kids to go anywhere else.

If you want your child to be prepared for the real world as an adult, then Topeka High School is the only one in the community for you. Diversity, inclusion, acceptance, tolerance, involvement, community.

Topeka High School offers the best in diversity and inclusion, the most languages of any high school in the district, the best in debate/forensics and music classes and encourages students to achieve their best. They offer lots of college prep classes.

Priceless. Unparalleled. Topeka High provides the full range of experiences. In the heart of the city, the student population represents all walks of life. The opportunities to learn about every version of diversity abound. It's big enough that the classes are stratified into skill sets so that no one's academic studies suffer. Struggling students work with their skill-level peers; rockstar students work with their peers. Then, everyone joins in the hallways, cafeteria, sports events, phys ed classes, dances and parties, and the dozens (and dozens) of clubs. It's so big that it would take decades to take each and all of the classes offered, to taste all of the wonders available there. It's the perfect place for teens to try any version of themselves on for size, to explore any combination of interests, to meet other students from every conceivable background with every conceivable combination of gifts to share. Housed in an outstanding architectural treasure of a building, it's the only high school I know with a full-time staff historian funded by supporters' contributions. It's pretty amazing. If you haven't been inside Topeka High for a day, you can't appreciate the riches offered. If you haven't been inside for a day, you are missing a lot of exciting fun!

My son is a freshman at Topeka High. He is intellectually challenged by a complete honors curriculum and engaged in music and athletic activities. I also appreciate that the school is diverse in many ways, opening him up to a variety of perspectives and experiences. Topeka High is a great school. Hoy hoy, Mighty Troy!

I am a graduate of THS and the lessons I learned in classes and socially have helped me achieve my goals professionally and personally. My teachers provided the extra attention that I needed to be successful during my time at THS.

i am in all of topeka highs honors classes and i have yet to learn something that i already havent learned from last year. to me a fun class is a class where the teachers get you involved and teach you many things.. unfortunately i find most of my classes boring. the only problem is homework... i have had little to none...and i'm in all honors classes... and when i rarely do, they aren't very well incorporated from what we "learned" in class. i do like the diversity and the fact that its the "real world" and you can make a friend no matter what you look like or how you act.
