Horseshoe Bend Middle/Senior High School Reviews
Rating 3.57 out of 5 47 reviews
Overall, I love the high school atmosphere. The staff are very personable and friendly and they do their best to help the students succeed in school, and even out of school. If you have a goal, the counselor will do everything he can to help it become a reality. The only thing that could make it better would be giving the parents more opportunities to be involved in school activities so they feel like they are more a part of the student's life. Because the Elementary, Middle & High schools are all on one campus the students of all grades are able to interact with each other. I think this is great, especially since I have a lot of siblings I get to see and hang out with- We even get to have lunch all together! The schools even offer the chance for students to take higher grade level classes since the schools are so close, and they have a teacher certified to teach College Math for the Seniors who want to advance their learning. If they don't have a wanted class, they offer IDLA too!
At Horseshoe Bend Middle/Senior High School there is a small town feeling that you get nowhere else, one on one teaching, a family in the faculty, and a baseball team that rules. I would like to see better funding in the sports department, the weight room is virtually nonexistent and the staff is often times overtaxed when it comes to students that want to cause trouble.
With only 70 students in the entire high school, Horseshoe Bend has a very small town feel. The town itself is set into a small valley and is surrounded by the beautiful Payette River. Some benefits of going to HSB are that you know everyone in the school and can make many friends very quickly, can be more effective in making a change or being heard than in a larger school, and have more one on one time with your teachers. Sports are a huge part of the culture, and it is very easy to become involved with them. However, a downside to HSB is that everyone knows everything about everyone else; privacy is very hard to achieve. There also aren't as many opportunities for students in areas such as clubs and activities or through academic means. Overall, however, I feel like Horseshoe Bend is a safe place with a very low bullying record, and although the school may not be exposed to as many opportunities as a bigger school would, the school culture is very positive and family-like!
