many don't know that florence district took this school over from the coolidge school district back in 2016. The school was a disaster at that time as coolidge neglected the building and had hardly any expectations for academics or student discipline. Florence was lucky to get dr. richards as the principal as he was the one who made poston butte an A plus school. He basically got foothills out of the hole but it took him 5 years and made many improvements. After he left florence replaced him with a very weak and inexperienced group of administrators and many of the best teachers left and now the school has many discipline issues and will probably never be a good school. I live right by the school and had 2 kids go through.

What High School doesn't provide band AND ORCHESTRA?! We have to drive to gilbert for Violin lessons because the school does not provide it. But sure let's spend money on a brand new sports feild rather then academic enrichment for a school that scores below average in every subject! Unbelievable!!! We will be open enrolling somewhere else!!

Administrators spend so much time worrying about discipline of minor issues, that it takes good students out of too many classes. Tardy to class by 10 seconds? Go to "Sweep" (1 class detention) and miss the class. Not sitting in your seat when the bell rings? Go to sweep. You lifted your arms and someone saw your belly button? Referral (which means you will likely miss more class). Teachers and Vice Principal spend way too much time policing non-issues, that they forget the reason they are there; to teach kids subject matter! The school is mostly taught through online coursework, so the teachers spend too little time teaching already. No wonder this and many other Pinal County public schools score so low. This, by far, is the worst school any of my children have been in, and I have kids from 13-21. If you sign up for their phone notifications, expect your phone to ring at least once a day for stuff that isn't even applicable or worthy of a call (super annoying!) The school district and the administration need to get their priorities straight, and provide a good, positive learning environment, and stop running good students off to alternative educational programs.
