“I am a current SHS student, currently in the first school year of the new high school facility. As a parent previously said in these reviews, the general level of classes is fairly standard. No classes at SHS are sup-par by any means. I am an honors student, and can tell you that the honors and AP classes at Salado are second to none. Also, there was a complaint of coaches also teaching. This should be a praise. The coaches (excluding one), are very dedicated to their subject. Furthermore, as being coaches, usually a coach taught class is much better behaved and more productive. Someone also mentioned some sort of racism. Not so, SHS has a very large hispanic population that is not mistreated in any way. There is not much of an african american population, but these students are well treated also. Salado High School is a fantastic school.”

“I moved here so my children could attend this school . The teachers are comitted and most are leaders in the community. Yes they promote Christianity and they should. I'm happy with my choice. There are some discipline issues that they could take a firmer stance on but basically I made the right choice! Salado is a great place to grow up!”

“I am a parent who put my children in this school district. They have told me they feel the quality of their overall education is much lower than the previous schools they attended. There are a few excellent teachers in math, science, and english if you are an honor student,if not your education will be poor if in the general class. If you are not Christian and if you are non- white then you are an outcast. The mentality is that of the 1950's. I do not recommend this school. They choose coaches to teach because the administration is more interested in athletics. They do not prepare their students for college but for blue-collar jobs unless in the honors classes. There are better schools to choose from in the area.”

“I am a former student at SHS. I would not trade my time there for anything, if only because my isolation truly helped me to grow as a person by observing the psychological behavior of my peers. From my experiences I have learned that life is hard at SHS if you are different in any way. The harsh social life is devastating for some, and many are suppressed in an unhealthy manner. Salado is only a good school if you are willing to conform and turn a blind eye to discrimination. Also, I did not learn much from my years there. I often envied friends from other schools, who took part in a curriculum which actually challenged them. I only truly respected 3 people as teachers, and was often frustrated at the incompetency of the majority of the staff. Salado is an excellent school, if you're just like everyone else there.”

“I am also a student here at Salado High. I understand fully what the parent very heavy emphasis on being basically Christian, and yes the other ethnicities are treated poorly. I do not like the school atmosphere, as it is crowded by cliques fighting inside of each other and the outcasts finding at a hard fight to even be accepted. Being basically a non-Christian, I am treated as an outcast and something of a 'freak' as I have been called, but I continue here as I have no other choice. All and all, there a few teachers here who are wonderful, but many are coaches, which means playing favorites, and the heavy emphasis on athletics is rather annoying. If you plan on going here, better be up to the challenge.”

“My daughter spent one miserable year at Salado. The atmosphere is very small-town and cliquish, and if you're non-white, non-Christian, or non-preppy, you'll do better elsewhere. She encountered some real, blatent discrimination on the part of teachers and admin at the school. She's now at another public school where mixed-race students aren't told they are 'mongrels' by teachers and administration. Some teachers are excellent, but the high percentage of coaches teaching as a sideline lowers the overall quality.”

“I am a student, not a parent, at Salado High School. I like my school, it is safe, with drug-finding dogs, no gangs, and a police station not far away. However, the building is older and many of the teachers are really athletic coaches. I think this is because of the under-average salaries, or maybe the cause of them. There are many good teachers though, who are good UIL trainers, and some are Harvard or MIT graduates. Most of my classes are small, but many other classes have gotten larger because of our school trying to raise money for a better facility, so it has just been opened to out-of-town students, for a fee, of course. Our school has a high emphasis on athletics and UIL Academics, and even though we have a good marching band and football team, I feel that we really excel the most in UIL.”
