We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Since I spent 4 years of my high school career in this school, I can confidently say that it isn't the worst, however, it also isn't the best, as in its school environment, culture/ identity in the Washoe County school system. Most of its problems mostly come from the overabundance of students (not caring, paying attention, and/or are really apathetic). The silver lining though comes from the faculty & staff who DO care, and are truly exceptional in their teaching.

In my first year, we were in the old campus, where you would have to outside to get to class. Whenever it would snow, it would be horrible to travel from class to class. The next 3 years of my high school years were in the new campus. I did enjoy it but the first year of the new campus, there would be a lot of fights and would honestly interrupt class time for a lot of people, especially me because teachers would have to run out of class to stop a fight. I would say the rest of high school was pretty fun and enjoyable, especially my senior year because I have all the classes I want and need.

Theres a large group of kids who aren't really there for an education and represent the school badly. I stayed in my own lane and had a small group around me with similar academic goals, some of the best teachers I've ever had work at this school.

First of all the traffic is horrendous and the busses situation is terrible second there is a severe lack of chairs just stools with no lumbar support. Then there is the worst lunch lines, I wasn't able yo eat most of the time. Lastly the halls are packed.

There are a lot of code yellows and sometimes reds. The students there are mostly bad and only disrupt the classes. Students always have their phones out and never respect the teachers. Like most old schools Hug High doesn't take the time to make sure that disabled kids like ones that are in wheelch...
