I love going here. The music program is awesome and the teachers are wonderful. Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
My son spent 4 years here and My daughter is currently a sophmore. I could not be more happy with Enterprise as a parent. I really appreciate the music program and I think it has helped my kids with other aspects of their high school experience. Keeping the kids in the hardest classes has really paid off and I recomend other parents push their childeren academically also.. they will have better teachers and more of a challenge to their kids.
We've got the spirit, we've got the tradition, we've got everything.
I've attended EHS for 1 year, and so far...it is just like any other school. There is nothing that brings it above average except for their music program, which im not in. However, most of the teachers are pretty awesome and easy to communicate with. I am going to take and AP english class next year, and my teacher has already helped me out a lot with my summer home work. Some of the students here may have bad reputations, but you dont have to let that affect you. I have made some great friends here. Overall, i think that this school is worth coming to.
They get kids connected in activities. Kids feel comfortable, safe and accepted at Enterprise.
My experience with my daughter's school has been fantastic. I have found most all of her teachers to be caring and capable, not to mention accessible. I did meet one time with the administration and I found the principal to be someone who listened to my concerns and helped me to correct a problem in one of my daughter's classes. We moved here from out of the area and I am glad that Enterprise is a school that respects differences and yet has high expectations of it's students. She feels comfortable with the students (says they are friendly and not cliquish) and feels the teachers expect her to do her best. We did visit the two other schools in the area but preferred the administration and counselor at Enterprise. We made the choice for our daughter. Finally, a school for my daughter that I can place my confidence in!
With the exception of a small handful of select instructors who truly do care, the rest of the staff leave much to be desired. From a parental standpoint it usually requires threats to contact the school board to get any kind of response.
I have been at Enterprise High School for a few months now, and I have to say, Its not what I expected. The teachers really don't care and seem stubborn and unwilling to help. Most of the kids have horrible attitudes and bad reputations, and the school seems to worship the sports programs, mainly the football teams. And the band team attracts similar attention too. I cant wait till I get out of this school, and find a place that is not filled with wanna-be gangsters, who's vocabularies consist of only slurs and cuss words. And no offense to the parents, but until you have attended this school, (which some of you may have), then you can't really say this school is great. The staff just puts on an act that they really care at all.
I have attended Enterprise High School for four years and I can safely say that this school has a 'variety' of excellent music, athletics, and academic programs. Students are encouraged to excel by their teachers, are very approachable, and always willing to help. Administration is always seen around campus talking to students and disciplining those who need it. There is a place for every student in the numerous clubs offered throughout the year. The music department directors do not turn down any student eager to explore their musical capabilities; they are willing to work with those who seek direction. Overall, Enterprise is the school that parents in the Redding area should send their kids to. I could not have asked for a better high school experience.
Even though I've been at Enterprise for a few months, I know enough to say that it's a horrible. For academics, there are Honors and AP classes are offered but there is not much of a variety. The teachers are unwillingly to help with work, the staff is not friendly, student's reputations are awful, and much more. Students are not nice, and to get through high school, you need friends. The sports program has a variety, yet it is too competitive. The only good reason to put your child at Enterprise is because of the music program. But, you need a lot of experience in order to fit into that program. Overall, do not send your kids here. And, there is only one bus offered so majority of the kids have to walk home in heavy traffic in a metro area. That is not safe. Do not send your kids here.
