This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

Salida high school has given me the opportunity to get prepared for college. High school has provided me the education I need to move further in college.

4.0 Senior

12/9/2024

Salida high school offers a fun environment to learn, with a good athletic program and lots of college readiness through dual-enrollment classes.

3.0 Senior

12/12/2022

I liked the schedule flexibility that Salida High School allowed; it really helped with my ability to do more things outside of school. However, I do think that sometimes I did not have enough resources to plan for my future.
