There's nothing I want to change! Payson High School has been an amazing experience for me! Everyone is so friendly!

I overall have had a good high school experience. The school offers a lot of college classes and clubs. The problem is that the school is old and has a lot of issues.

I have enjoyed some classes, but the students are rowdy and just a mess to deal with. I think they can do better activities to make the year more enjoyable.
