Poth High school is an overall success school for students of all backgrounds. No matter your interests, Poth has something special to offer. My favorite thing about Poth is how small the school is. It is a 3A school. Poth feels like a family. Everyone knows and loves everyone else. I'd have to say Poth is one of the safest schools in the district. Nothing bad or harmful has happened while I have been in school in Poth, and I feel like that is the most significant aspect about a school.

I enjoyed being at Poth High School because the teachers were very close to the students. The student count was very low. Only a 2A school at the time I went through high school. We received the pleasure of a closer one on one experience with education.

My children went to Poth and academically they surpass most of the surrounding schools. However their administration is very poor. Thank goodness we have many teachers who truly care about the kids. It could be so much better.

I have only 2 downsides to Poth and that is the gossip mill between the teachers about the students, which...
