5/5/2025
Overall, I enjoyed Ponderosa High School because I liked that it was a smaller school, and I liked my teachers and the classes that I took. I would really like to see administration and teachers prepare us for SAT a lot better and provide access to more clubs and activities.
4/15/2025
It was a great school to have grown up in. There was many resources for kids looking for a secondary school. They also offer a lot of great opportunities for kids going to a secondary school. For example they offered a course like AP biology which was super hard but gave me a lot of preparation for what college will be like.
2/6/2025
Some teachers are so amazing and really helped shape me as a person. Ponderosa has so many great classes including welding and auto, which give students real world opportunities. The programs at Ponderosa are constantly expanding for the better, as more and more classes become available for students.

The school is very conscious of safety coming in and out of the building which was a relief for me. There were teachers that each of my children gravitated toward, which was helpful for looking to their futures. The English and Shop departments were fantastic. Overall, I was very happy with the choi...

Are furries allowed here? This is unacceptable.
2/19/2023
Don’t go. Little empathy from teachers and administrators toward students and parents. I’ve never been treated as unprofessionally and disrespectfully as I was by the drama teacher. What should be communicated in person is done through email.Teachers are resentful of the entitled kids who drive way...

Unfortunately this school lacks a positive and respectful culture. There are some good teachers such as those in AP/Honors English. Great drama Dept and teacher. But mainly there is a bare minimum effort by many teachers or perhaps they’re overworked. The staff teachers and students don’t seem to ha...
