This School’s Reviews
Niche Reviews
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.
4/25/2024
I personally had a fairly decent time at Ponderosa, but everyones experience will be different. It truly depends on the individual,
4/25/2024
I had a wonderful experience at PHS. I transferred there from Legend High school and fit in immediately.
GreatSchools Reviews
8/29/2025
Ponderosa may look like a good school on the surface, but ongoing issues with bullying and racial slurs make it a deeply concerning environment. Students especially African American students are reporting that they feel unsafe, unheard, and mistreated. School should be a safe, healthy place where ev...

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...
10/1/2023
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...
