I went into Galena High school from a private high school so it was very difficult to make friends but I was able to find my people. Finding them made my experience much better. I also joined student council and it made my experience much more fun. The thing about the school is that the people are very cliquey so it was tough to make friends. The STEM program there also needs a lot of work because a lot of the time i felt as if I weren't learning anything and I was being babysat. I hope that there is a better system for the program.

The administration has changed the culture of the school, unfortunately not for the better. Some teachers are extremely dedicated others are unengaged with their students.

The teachers care but the administration should do more to keep them around. New teachers and old ones leaving all the time, including the greatest band teacher ever.. now there is no band which is a disservice to all Galena students, sports and families.

Kids that cause problems don’t get suspended, barely a slap on the wrist for doing things that could put...

Moving our kid to Damonte Ranch was the best decision we could have made. The staff is overwhelmed. There is a large amount of profiling with kids experienced by other parents and kids. Being zoned for this school was disappointing but luckily we were able to get into Damonte.

The school is extremely under staffed going into 20-21 school year. With the boom of CA people moving to South Reno, and rezoning, the school is packed as are ALL high schools in Reno. You have many teachers teaching their opinions politically, nobody checking revealing clothing, etc.. It is one of...

My kids just started a Galena and they are treated as outsiders right from the start. This is from students as well as teachers and administrators. The school has no computers and does not use technology at all. My son was given 5 tardies in 1 week because he is new and does not know his way around....
