My experience at Galena High School has been great! I love all the teachers I've had all 4 years and I have made so many new friends. This school has helped me be more prepared and ready for college. I have learned to be more confident and flexible too.

Galena High School has great educational opportunities such as the STEM program. During my time in the STEM program, I learned how to 3D print, 3D model, build airfoils, and read VORs. Galena is one of the few schools in the district with this program which makes its education and resources very valuable. However, Galena lacks in school spirit and often struggles to fill teaching positions in important areas such as mathematics.

The school is extremely under staffed going into 20-21 school year. With the boom of CA people moving to South Reno, and rezoning, the school is packed as are ALL high schools in Reno. You have many teachers teaching their opinions politically, nobody checking revealing clothing, etc.. It is one of...

My kids just started a Galena and they are treated as outsiders right from the start. This is from students as well as teachers and administrators. The school has no computers and does not use technology at all. My son was given 5 tardies in 1 week because he is new and does not know his way around....
