We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Small town values, treated as an individual rather than just a number, kind and patient instructors, students and teachers alike take pride in being #PothProud, teachers are very responsive to parents concerns, district is very proactive in keeping everyone safe during the current Covid 19 pandemic, not only excel academically but also in sports.

Teachers mostly focused on guidelines instead of trying to help students and make it fun. Plus none of our guidelines really made sense and actually caused worst results than better.

Poth High School is a very small independent public school. This compact school allows students to be well rounded and respected individuals. The only suggestion for the school would be to educate kids earlier about colleges and or their future.
