I graduated from Siloam Springs and my boys go there now. We are excited about the new High School, open by the fall of 2010. The sports programs are progressive and very successful. I do, however, believe that the coaching staff is a bit too extreme and has a bad habit of demeaning and using

I was extremely unsatisfied with the environment at SSHS. My student was so miserable she began to refuse to go. Siloam High is a small minded, unconcerend, broken down school. The halls even flood in the rainy season. I moved my daughter and she is doing wonderful. I would suggest you send your children
