Preston high school has greatly improved the last few years. We have a new art teach and new administrator that fix many of the problems we had in past years. Overall, I would say that our school is doing pretty good.

I would rate Preston high school at 6.5 it had some ups and downs and it could really use a big change. The teachers in that class are nice except for the science teacher. I really wish that school wasn't racist as much. One good thing about Preston high school is that they have tutoring after and before class. The teachers into are really nice and they help their kids and they treat the kids like if it was one of their own's Preston high school doesn't have really good programs, but that's a progress why. I want to see in the future in my school like better programs, less racism, less fight and better future.

Preston High School (Idaho) is a rural and smaller high school. This makes this school small and very limited. Their is almost a non existent STEM influence and very few classes in regard to deeper education. This school's saving grace is the close proximity of Utah State University and Idaho State University. These colleges provide the higher education in Preston High School that is lacking.

Teachers are held accountable for their teaching. One of the math teachers is not as good as the other. The...
