There is rampant racism at this school which is not discouraged by school leadership. If your child is not white, don't bother enrolling here! The absolute worst school I've ever experienced.The school's treatment of disabled students is horrible! Stay away!

I have attended three different schools during my high school life, and Ponderosa High School by far has been the worst one. With the most inconsiderate principals and counselors, I find this school to be a very negative environment with a lack of compassion for the students that go there.

The teachers care about the students. Nice campus.
