I have nothing but good memories from PLS. The people who say there is no school spirt, don't go to the basketball and football games. 'The Black Hole' is one of the best student sections in the state. The Titans has become one of the most competitive athetic departments in the state. With great softball,

Very impressive. As a military parent, I was taken back by how responsive this school was ensuring my two teens made a smooth transition from our East Coast location. Both faculty and athletic staff were ready for my son and daughter's arrival. Zero glitches, no surprises. Both Transitioned with

Pro-active faculty ensured both were placed in academic programs that challenged their learning (great honors programs). Despite my facing an unpredictable deployment schedule, Principal-Dr Shonewise and her entire staff have been outstanding in ensuring my kid's needs are met and my wife and I are kept updated as needed/requested. Top-notch facilities both academic and athletic. Highly recommended. Read less

As a parent of three high schoolers and as an educator at a different school, I believe Papio South has a well-rounded program for the students. However, as a fairly-new school, administration needs to implement diversity programs both for staff and students. In comparison to other schools, Papio South

While some may think that administration is strict, these boundaries have helped our students become who they are. Children 'always' need boundaries, and the Papio South administration and teaching staff has done a great job in teaching and protecting our children. It's a great school! Read less

Teachers and Ass't Principals are great. What is lacking is support for school spirit if you are outside the inner core of structured and approved programs. Those students that want to initiate fun school spirit activities are highly highly discouraged. Academics are great. I do believe that the

As a previous student of Papillion South I think, overall, that it is an exremely well run school. The staff and teachers meet all expectations and are available anytime to help students. The only thing that bugged me when I went there was the fact that we were so restricted with the activities we could

This school provides a pretty decent education but is terrible for students. Students are extremely restricted in activities and are given almost no freedoms. School spirit is almost non-existent because of the rules and restrictions set forth by the administration. The administration does not allow
... Read more kids to be kids or have any fun. While education is definately the biggest, most important part of high school, it is not all. Kids still need to be kids and have fun, which this school does not allow. The high school experience is negative, if at all even existent. As a student I would highly discourage for anyone to attend if they have the choice. Read less
