Powell High School, in my experience, has been a below average high school experience. The students are very cliquish and bullying is seen very frequently among students. Overall both the environment and faculty are sub-par.

Powell High School is considered Knoxvilles Best but it surely has a lot of downfalls. For instance we have too many students to accommodate for and only have 15 minutes to eat our lunch because there isn't enough space in the cafeteria for everyone. Drugs are an issue.

My son is in all honors classes & it's no wonder! He is challenged & nudged towards success & I am very pleased with PHS especially Coach and Teacher Mr. Smith. Mr.Smith is a teacher a parent dreams for they're child to have & I am so thankful my son was taught by him.

I am a Powell alum (class of 2001). I attended college out of state, but I've had the priviledge of returning to Knoxville for my career. While the Powell community is still an excellent town to be a part of, it is no secret that rezoning has certainly changed the dynamic at the high school. I do so...
