Shadow Mountain High School is truly a hidden gem! It offers all the programs, classes, and sports you’d expect from a large school, but still manages to keep a welcoming, tight-knit community atmosphere. The teachers and staff are incredibly dedicated—always going above and beyond to support students, whether it’s helping with academics, encouraging creativity, or guiding them toward their future goals.The sports programs are another highlight of Shadow Mountain. From football and basketball to track, cheer, and beyond, there’s always something exciting happening. Games are full of energy and school spirit, and students really rally together to support their teams. The balance of strong academics, supportive staff, and fun, engaging athletics makes Shadow Mountain a fantastic place for students to learn, grow, and thrive.

Highly Recommend this school great teachers and staff

do not recommend this school. The office is extremely disorganized, staff lacked professionalism, and there was very little focus on the actual students. There were repeated issues with confidentiality, communication, and failure to follow proper procedures or court paperwork.Despite both households specifically informing the school that information was not to be shared between us, the nurse repeatedly called me regarding my stepdaughter’s siblings on their mother’s side and would share information from conversations she had with their mom. This created unnecessary conflict and showed a complete lack of respect for privacy and confidentiality.The school also failed to properly verify identities during pickup. Staff repeatedly attempted to have me pick up children I was not authorized to pick up, even after being clearly told multiple times that I was not on their emergency contact list and was not to handle pickups for that side of the family. There were also concerns about court-ordered paperwork not being followed correctly.The office staff seemed unfamiliar with both district policies and basic state education and court-related procedures. Communication was inconsistent, staff were often rude, and there was little accountability when concerns were brought up. After dealing with ongoing issues and lack of professionalism, we ultimately decided to pull our children from this school.
