My overall experience with Potosi High School has been really good I have learned countless amounts of information from them and have learned a lot of valuable life skills. I run xc and track for all 4 years of high school now and have loved it not because of the sport but because of the coaches and the friend's I have made potosi just seems so much more like a family than any other school I've seen and that's why I really love it.

I feel the school has gone well above what I would expect. They support gifted students in a way, including allowing unique curriculum that I have not seen elsewhere. There are many dual credit courses, and more available if anyone is interested. I was told any college level courses could be pursued...

There is always room for improvement, but for the most part, the staff is doing well with what they are provided.

Not enough classroom supplies, some teachers take grades on assignments they never gave, they do work on the football and baseball areas, they hire coaches instead of teachers, the yearbook teacher makes fun of students in class and the arts are under budgeted.
