10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll schools have their faults, school systems make due with all they are given by our government these days. I am not a helicopter parent hovering at every minute, is that how children were handled 50 years ago? They were allowed to be children. Other reviews I feel give a poor impression of our school that I believe are unfair. The teachers do their job and care about each child. I've seen my children grow and learn each year. They enjoy school and enjoy learning because of the teachers and the environment they are in. There are areas that could see improvement, no school is perfect. Please keep that in mind. They strive every day to address these issues. I am proud to send my children to a school they like to go to, where I feel they are safe, and where I know they are learning.Parent Review11y ago - Alta Senior High School
