I would say the best of Shelley High School was the assemblies. I felt like the pep rallies were fun, and the speakers they chose were very well spoken. The worst would probably be the mental health recourses. Teenagers go through a lot and have big feelings so I think they the consolers should have been better at helping kids emotionally and not just academically.

Shelley high-school does not present the facilities or the education program that the students deserve. It doesn't offer any AP classes and neglects every other department besides sports. Our student body can't even fit in the building. Although the people there are amazing.

Sports still rule and academics are still lacking in a big way. Grade inflation got my sons into a good college with scholarships, where they struggled majorly. SHS does not prepare students for college period. Hoping things will change for the better with a new principal for next year. The only goo...

This school and in fact the whole district is a joke. This is nothing short of a good old boys club no matter the venue. Sports are king and a joke, it's all about who you are and what can your family do for the coach. Academics are worse. Nearly every teacher has their hand in coaching in some form...
