Nipomo High School Reviews
Rating 3.84 out of 5 185 reviews
Nipomo is diversity at its best! Students with different cultures, backgrounds and ethnicity all come together to learn in this small high school. All four years I never felt I didn’t belong. Persistence, respect, integrity, determination, expectations PRIDE! Great staff especially our FFA program and teachers. All my teachers were approachable and wanted me to do well and took interest in my educational goals. Enjoyed being a part of our FFA program all four years. It was awesome to be part of our school history’s first league titles in both boys basketball and boys volleyball Going to miss everybody at nipomo high. Go Titans
Nipomo high school is an extremely welcoming school. Student here are kind to one another and actively try to get their fellow students with disabilities involved. They respect their campus and rarely leave messes or trash at lunch or break. Nipomo high school has a lot of pride for being who they are and are even the number 1 FFA school in the state! If anyone is interested in getting involved with an amazing FFA program, this school is for you. Nipomo also has a great robotics team. Overall my experience with Nipomo high school was immensely positive.
Nipomo High School isn't like other high schools in the area. It is smaller, more united, and more welcoming. The courses are fun and challenging, the teachers and staff make it all worth while. There are a variety of clubs offered on campus, however, the electives are minimal. Additionally, student school spirit isn't the best, but personally I think high school is what you make out of it and NHS is the right place to step outside of your comfort zone!
