Galena high school had many great teachers and resources. These teachers have made me feel wanted and made going to school easier. They also make learning better. Finding ways to teach each individual specifically.

The best part of my experience at Galena has definitely the people I have met going to Galena. I play softball at my school and have made life long best friends. The overall culture of Galena Is incredible with great staff and teachers that always care about your education. The only negative would be that it is a small school but personally I prefer a smaller school because it makes the students closer in the long run.

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.

This school is terrible! So many things have happened, and barely a phone call home about what’s going on with your child. If they are tardy, however, you’ll get phone calls, and emails all day! 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....
