3/14/2025
My biggest issue with this place was the constant bullying. Some staff would also treat students more like their friends than their students and it was strange because they didn't have healthy boundaries at all. Staff also very clearly picks favorites and kids who aren't favored are treated drastically different. They also have a major problem with letting sexual violence slide. Victim blaming is terribly common and even encouraged by both staff and students.

Festus High School is a welcoming environment between the teachers and welcoming clubs. The counselors are always ready to help with any questions about classes or your future out passed high school. The teachers are also ready for any questions about their classes or subject and are always helpful and offering time for help.

The teachers are truly interested in helping their students succeed, and other students are always happy to lend a hand for classmates. The school is small enough that there are no real cliques, but big enough that you can simply wander the halls and meet a group of people with similar interests. The only reason someone wouldn't feel wanted there is simply because they don't go out and join a single activity; even then, it is still unlikely that they would end up truly alone.
