We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I like the teachers and the staff. The teachers are very lenient and understanding with students who have challenges/problems outside of school. I think my school has an overall great education provided for the students. My school tries their hardest for there students to succeed. Reno high has good educational and helpful programs for students to expand there knowledge or find opportunities for the future. I like how my school has a college and career center to help students in applying for college. The reason as to why I didn't give my school the one star is because of my experience in the social environment at my school.

The high rating of this school makes me question if this site is valid or not. To begin, there is no parent involvement, the students are rude and disrespectful, and the school even allows a place where kids can go skip class and smoke if they want. Also, the "common core" program is completely detr...

This is an amazing school. The teachers and support staff do a wonderful job of being involved in the students lives. Sure, there are some issues with certain kids, just like in every school. People seem to believe that the school is where kids might pick up bad habits, but that starts in the home....
