This school is awsome. there is a few problems that need to be takin care of though. The teachers for the most part are extremely good. the students could not have any more school spirit. it is great to go to a sports game and see all of them cheering on the school like they do. The only problem is that the principal of this school is no good.

The school, teachers, and most of the staff members are very wonderful and helpful in every aspect, and the building is beautiful. The sports programs are great, but the music department needs a lot more support from both the school board and the community. The school could also use a few more fun after-school clubs and groups.

Beautiful building, wonderful teachers, the poorest principle our children have ever dealt with. Without this woman, this could be one of the best schools in Nevada, but only without her. What a sad thing for this great community to have to have their children attend SCH.

The principal in this school is very power hungry. If she was not there the school would be excellent. The teachers are great, the sports and coaches are great. They just have the principal to put a bad light on the entire school.

The teachers are great, they're well qualified and most get envolved as much as they can. Like all schools there's a few unpopular ones but that's to be expected. The main problem is with the administration currently. Due to this the students have very little respect or school spirit for the school. The extracurricular activities are fairly good. The music department definitely needs some work but there's decent involvement in sports, esp. football. The school lacks fun activities that aren't necessarily related to academics though for students to enjoy after school or to promote school spirit.

About the tests

In 2010-2011 Nevada used the High School Proficiency Examination (HSPE) to assess high school students in reading, writing, math and science. The combined results for the first administration in grade 10 and the second administration in grade 11 are displayed on GreatSchools profiles. The HSPE is a high school graduation requirement. The HSPE is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Nevada. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
