For the state of Idaho, Capital is very education minded and advanced in meeting the needs of their students. I personally loved my experience. Here are a few positive things to note:
-The school is very diverse and doesn't present any discrimination issues.
-The staff are all insightful on their college experiences.
-Lots of AP!
-The atmosphere is relaxed. You can go where you want at lunch and don't need to stress about an overbearing administration.
-Capital has many unique traditions to differentiate themselves from other schools.
And of course, there a few suggestions of change:
-I wish sometimes the teachers would focus more on meeting the needs of their students, not the district.
-Most of the staff has a strong political bias. It gets old..
Overall, I'd highly recommend that a student attends Capital if they're focused on their education, but want a stress-free environment.

Capital Senior High School has been an excellent experience for me! Starting high school I was really nervous, but the teachers and staff were so nice and the upper class men were willing to help you find your classes. The teachers are good at helping the class learn in the right direction while still be friendly. The student body is so fun to be a part of and we have the best school spirit! Capital shows courage, optimism, respect, and encouragement and I am thankful to be a part of a school with great learning and people. I’m proud to be an Eagle!
Capital High School was an amazing experience. There were so many amazing programs to be involved with, they had a great AVID program that helped students prepare for college. The teachers at Capital are passionate and care so much about the students and are willing to help the students on an individual basis, as well as the administration, they all care so much. I was able to be involved with many clubs like National Honor Society, Key Club, Student Council, Teens Against Tabacco Use, to name a few, and there were all sorts of clubs and resources that reached out to a variety of personalities and interests. The cheerleading program is equally amazing and the coaches for Capital are top notch. Capital will always have a special place in my heart.
