This school is terrible. West Ada runs the schools like prisons. Parents are shut out and teachers have terrible attitudes. I have empathy for the staff as the wages are low but that does not excuse their horrible job performance and lack of responsibility. Unsafe conditions, poor quality education, horrible staff attitudes towards parents and students make up a joke of a school.

Eagle High School is an amazing place. The teachers are beyond dedicated and go the extra miles for their students. The Band and Speech instructors in particular are to be commended for their dedication.

I would say it has been difficult as a parent. While the education received from some of the teachers and supportive counseling staff is excellent, the school's focus on athletics to the detriment of academics, student integrity and accountability makes the school lacking.

this isn’t a bad school. i have met some incredible people here and there are some teachers who i love and respect very much. but some teachers are very unkind, we have few fun activities although many are proposed, just to be shot down. like any school i imagine, there are positives and negatives i think leadership just needs to be readjusted.

This school is the largest concentration of fake I have ever encountered. I was a student here and I have not had one good experience relating to the administration or leadership of the school. The loudspeaker makes the school feel like a prison with its dull, drab colors. Overall, a very poor school full of arrogant, low-moral students. This school has wasted four years of my life that I will never get back.

I had two sons go to Eagle HS. A great school for Idaho, a good school for other areas in the US we have lived. Small enough, that kids can be on just about any sports team they desire. Some teachers fantastic, some not. I always found the principal accommodating. Our alphabetically assigned guidance counselor was not responsive, but I worked around that with another one who is extremely responsive. There are snobs, there are farmers… Both of my children found fantastic friends. And didn't let these distinctions affect their choice of friends. I wish they enforced the dress code more; More modest. It made me a little nervous how open the campus was. But it is standard in Idaho.

Coming from Scottsdale, AZ it is humorous that these kids think they know money. Socially these kids are taught very little. Disrespectful, bratty individuals are high in numbers at this school. The good news is that for the kids who are better rounded there is hiking, skiing, golfing, room to rollerblade, and explore. I enjoy watching my youths growth, and our family refuses to treat others negatively due to our financial blessings. If other parents thought this way, the school would be much more inviting.

The students I spent my time with all had been, for the most part, stuck-up kids who really have no consideration for others. The teachers I had and genuinely liked is at a low number of five, and I didn't even get four of them until I was a senior. The administration were the most annoying bunch I've ever seen. They're way too obsessed with enforcing these pointless rules than they are making sure students are legitimately happy and learning. If you have to, sure, send your kids here. But don't be surprised if they end up hating it.

High school is what you make of it and for my kids they have had great opportunities to attend challenging classes with excellent/caring teachers. This school also offers many honors, AP and concurrent classes. The school district overall offers many options for parents and their children....not only for college bound students but vocational opportunities as well. There's no excuse for a child in this district to not get a great education because there is something out there for any child depending what direction they want go in in the future as long as they are willing to learn and work hard.

Although not a perfect school, I am quite impressed with most aspects of Eagle High School. In California my son would have had to pass through metal detectors daily, been careful what color he wore because of gang violence, the teachers and administrators openly attacked social viewpoints different from their own, they did not want parent input and directly told us that they knew better than we did what was best for our children. Academically they spent more time on social education than core subjects. I have found the administration at EHS willing to listen and very professional. There are many supportive, friendly students and parents for the arts/music as well as sports. Kids have ample opportunity to be involved and to succeed at EHS. There are a few teachers which could improve on preparing the kids for college in their respective subjects, but I have found that most of them are interested in the success of the kids.

I currently attend this school. I am a junior, and I didn't even know who our principle was until a few months ago, and i consider myself an involved student. School spirit is zero, although attendance during games is usually pretty good. the honors and AP programs are also excellent. The administration's control of the school really stinks, but the academics are great. They need to spend less time making stupid rules and more time out among the students so that we are comfortable talking to them instead of asking who the principle is.
