Organ mountain high school has a large amount of variety in its extra curricular activities and the staff and administration is extremely supportive. The school is generally pretty clean although the bathrooms are a problem because of people vaping. The classrooms are run very well and the teachers try very hard.

I really grew out of my shell and became a better person when I started theatre my freshman year, but other clubs such as Dungeons and Dragons also helped me break out of my shell and become way more social and outgoing. The school has it's problems, from the students to some of the teachers. But overall, I'd say it was a good school.

Join the band and sign up for honors classes, and you will have the best experience of your life. If your kid a...

Why is Mr. Armijo still at Onate High School? My older kids had him for Algebra and didn't learn a thing, came home more confused and my way of teaching wasn't the "right way". You need to participate in this class, it is not even a class. And yet you wonder why all the kids fail when they take a te...
