11/13/2024
Ponderosa is a vibrant community, however there is little to no diversity. We have a very strong FFA program, however our band and arts programs are insufficiently funded. Our school pool is unfit for waterpolo or swim teams, and they have to travel to ther high schools to just practice. I would love to see funding going to the places that need it.

The school is welcoming and has great school spirit. The campus is clean, well cared for, and updated.

Ponderosa High School was the first school I attended in the US. My best experience at the school was with the teachers and students. 90-95% of the teachers were sweethearts who did anything in their power to help you get a better education in the most efficient yet fun way possible. The other 5-10% were teachers who did not necessarily care too much about the students or were beyond strict in their teaching and would hand out detentions or yell at students for no reason. There were a variety of characters at school with a variety of interests and from different backgrounds which allowed students to find their social group within a week of being at school.

I don't speak English and they have no treslation for Russian
11/2/2022
There is rampant racism at this school which is not discouraged by school leadership. If your child is not white, don't bother enrolling here! The absolute worst school I've ever experienced.The school's treatment of disabled students is horrible! Stay away!
5/20/2019
I have attended three different schools during my high school life, and Ponderosa High School by far has been the worst one. With the most inconsiderate principals and counselors, I find this school to be a very negative environment with a lack of compassion for the students that go there.

The teachers care about the students. Nice campus.
