(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - None of the dress code or honor code rules are really enforced. The students are quite rude and disrespectful. The music and art programs were nice, but nobody saw past the football team and the cheerleaders to notice. The curriculum wasn't too bad; I feel I learned almost enough while I was there. Although there are quite a few that I know of that have graduated, and still make really simple spelling and grammatical errors. Also we had a really high teen pregnancy rate. How embarrassing.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The football team at Payson High is the worst football team in the nation. My son feels like his self esteem lowers each day, the coaches arent modivating them in any way to win and he feels shut down. He plays on the defencive line and at his old school he was the star of the team, but now he feels like he is the loser of the team. He's thinking about just giving up. This is war!!!!
