This is by far the best high school you could go to. The school spirit is really good, the athletic department is amazing and we have won a lot of section and state titles throughout our many sports. If you get involved in clubs and activities like Leadership, ASB and other clubs you will have a phenomenal high school experience.

Great teachers, love to help their students. Awesome extracurricular activities after school. Lots of sports. So many programs, classes, and studies to choose from . People are really nice and kind there. Big campus, lots of students. Staffs are caring.

Overall, it's a great school. It has a wide variety of AP classes and most of the teachers are great. I've been able to learn extremely well here, although if you don't take advanced/AP classes there are a lot of students who don't care and aren't very driven. The sports programs, for the most part, are good but not all that high-caliber. The campus is pretty old but still in good condition for the most part.

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!

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.
