A lot happened at this school. There was multiple drug overdoses, a kid wore a very very racist outfit to a football game, a lot of bullying. They need to take more precautions to protect one another and make the school not only feel but be more safe. Some of the teachers that I had were awesome and had us do activities that were fun but also educational and that made learning new things not only easy but super fun and lovable, while other teachers, not so much.

The best part of my high school experience is the course selection we have every course you could want as someone who wants to go into medical school this is the best high school I could've ended up in. The staff is super welcoming and always have great advice. The only bad part would be how large the building is the passing periods have to be six minutes long for us to get to class on time, it's like a workout getting between classes.

Currently a senior. I like the school, I've had no major problems. The only problem I have had is 3 years I've had to switch my classes around to get what I needed, which I don't want to blame the counselors for but I kind of am. Fights do break out more often than you'd expect, but I just ignore them. Teachers are good, although some don't care.

Platte county was one of the worst schools I’ve been too we we’re constantly in the news for some racial thing or a school threat, most teachers there were jokes, if you are considering moving there, don’t the only good thing I will say was our football team but that’s it

This school has really good people in it, however, that can be said for most schools the staff and the rules are ridiculous and they can't seem to get anything done correctly. There are drugs and lots of bullying everywhere in this school. Most of the students are in little gangs and they bully and...

I can't speak for everyone's experience, but I can speak from our own. This school system comes from a small town atmosphere, where frankly everyone sticks to themselves and can be either closed off, standoffish, or stuck up. It is really hard for the students to connect to others in this system unl...

Horrible, we moved because this district and its superintendent do not address its issues.
