I am a current SHS student, currently in the first school year of the new high school facility. As a parent previously said in these reviews, the general level of classes is fairly standard. No classes at SHS are sup-par by any means. I am an honors student, and can tell you that the honors and AP classes

Furthermore, as being coaches, usually a coach taught class is much better behaved and more productive. Someone also mentioned some sort of racism. Not so, SHS has a very large hispanic population that is not mistreated in any way. There is not much of an african american population, but these students are well treated also. Salado High School is a fantastic school. Read less

I am a parent who put my children in this school district. They have told me they feel the quality of their overall education is much lower than the previous schools they attended.

They choose coaches to teach because the administration is more interested in athletics. They do not prepare their students for college but for blue-collar jobs unless in the honors classes. There are better schools to choose from in the area. Read less

I am a former student at SHS. I would not trade my time there for anything, if only because my isolation truly helped me to grow as a person by observing the psychological behavior of my peers. From my experiences I have learned that life is hard at SHS if you are different in any way. The harsh social

Also, I did not learn much from my years there. I often envied friends from other schools, who took part in a curriculum which actually challenged them. I only truly respected 3 people as teachers, and was often frustrated at the incompetency of the majority of the staff. Salado is an excellent school, if you're just like everyone else there.

I am also a student here at Salado High. I understand fully what the parent very heavy emphasis on being basically Christian, and yes the other ethnicities are treated poorly.

Being basically a non-Christian, I am treated as an outcast and something of a 'freak' as I have been called, but I continue here as I have no other choice.

If you plan on going here, better be up to the challenge. Read less

My daughter spent one miserable year at Salado. The atmosphere is very small-town and cliquish, and if you're non-white, non-Christian, or non-preppy, you'll do better elsewhere. She encountered some real, blatent discrimination on the part of teachers and admin at the school. She's now at another

I am a student, not a parent, at Salado High School. I like my school, it is safe, with drug-finding dogs, no gangs, and a police station not far away. However, the building is older and many of the teachers are really athletic coaches. I think this is because of the under-average salaries, or maybe

Most of my classes are small, but many other classes have gotten larger because of our school trying to raise money for a better facility, so it has just been opened to out-of-town students, for a fee, of course. Our school has a high emphasis on athletics and UIL Academics, and even though we have a good marching band and football team, I feel that we really excel the most in UIL. Read less
