When I attended Eldon High School I absolutely loved it for many reasons. The main reason was because of the facility that pushed and helped me to be my absolute best. I felt as though I always had someone in my corner cheering for me when times would get hard. I also had several opportunities to better myself as a student and athlete. Something that I appreciated the most was all of the different programs that were offered. My senior year I was a part of the Health Occupations program were I was able to further my education about nursing. The instructor would even help you get your CNA license and get CPR certified. Regarding athletics my coaches at the time did everything they could tp push me to become a better athlete. This did this by helping my gain several skills I did not have when I had first joined. Overall Eldon High School is a very good school to attend and will give you several opportunities to find worm or further your education after you graduate.

I love living in Eldon and attending school here. They are doing an excellent job trying to stop the spread of Covid-19. The only real negatives are the other students. There are just some really odd people that go to school. The only other negative is the average income for the community. We are a very poverty-stricken community and it shows in the students. There is a ton of community support, but some parents just care more about their drug addiction than their kids and you can see it.

Eldon High School was a great school to prepare you for college or a career. The administration of Eldon all care about every single student and you feel as though you are in a family. They push you very hard to be high achieving, while also being sympathetic.

The Eldon Schools are a joke! The teachers and coaches spend more time acting like they are still in high school then they do teaching the children. They, teachers and students have so much drama and favoritism that they are not educating our kids. School officials spend more time on chatting with t...
