Provo High school has a nice new campus which provides a great learning environment. However the general culture of the school does not focus on education after high school and a lot of kids don't take challenging classes. There are challenging classes available but they are much less popular and the teachers tend to fluctuate extremely on teaching skills throughout the school.

I loved that it was a very diverse school. This school also worked hard to prevent and stop things like bullying, drug use, and racism.

Provo High School is a reflection of the Ptovo school district. The teachers and administrators are lazy and lax when it comes to enforcing school policy. Teaching at PHS is geared toward satisfing the "Mormon culture" and not the student. It is not unusual for students to use racial epithets in the...
