My experience at Simley High School was quite great, both the teachers and the people at the school. If you needed help with something, they would help you and explain how to do it correctly. The teachers are quite friendly, both in terms of the work environment and the experience you get at Simley High School. My experience was fantastic, both upon arrival and departure.

My experience at Simley Senior Highschool has been satisfactory overall. However, there have been several changes with the staff in the past few years, including the counseling staff, which has made it difficult to get to know one's counselor or teachers.

I would like to see more up-to-date technology, non-sport activity options, and the food is just horrible. If you want to live, don't eat the food there.
