Slaton high school was okay, I would say it struggled just cause it was a small town. From the start of school people already knew people, and because of this cliques were made early on. Some kids were excluded and those kids made friends with each other. In all honesty i would like to see a change in school couture.

This institution is focused primarily on sports and they are not really even good at those. I have lived here most of my life and pay astronomical property taxes to fund a school that mismanages money to focus on athletics over education. The superintendent is just here to spend spend spend and not...
