At Red Mountain High School I have had a very good time with the sporting events like football and basketball. They are very fun and important here and bring everyone together. I have also had mostly good experiences with teachers, especially my Junior year, as they were all very caring and helpful.

It lacks diversity greatly which can lead way to ignorance at sometimes. There have been instances when problems have been brought up to administrations but they've done nothing. However the music programs are pretty good.

The best parts of Red Mountain are the performing arts and College readiness. The wide variety of options for the performing arts makes it a lot more fun. I enjoy Choir and Theater the most. They are the reason for who I am today, and they just have a strong community.

We have been fairly happy with the school. I have two very different teens going there. Their needs and interests are being met by the school. We have only had a less than great experience with one educator. Even that one is okay. Everyone else has been great.
