Papillion-La Vista South High School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2008-08-14 “Teachers and Ass't Principals are great. What is lacking is support for school spirit if you are outside the inner core of structured and approved programs. Those students that want to initiate fun school spirit activities are highly highly discouraged. Academics are great. I do believe that the principal is so concerned about her image that staff and students can feel a little stifled; however, the teachers do a great job in the classroom.” Posted By: other Quality Score: 4 2008-06-04 “As a previous student of Papillion South I think, overall, that it is an exremely well run school. The staff and teachers meet all expectations and are available anytime to help students. The only thing that bugged me when I went there was the fact that we were so restricted with the activities we could do during spirit week and what not. a lot of Tshirt ideas were shut down because of 'innapropriateness' but Papillion (the rival school) got to do things like that. This is more a school for kids who want to learn and not goof around a lot. Students are very competitive with activities (band, choir, show choir ect..) and now that the school has been in exhistance for a while athletics are making a huge impact.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2008-01-16 “This is one of the best schools in the area i think. The education is so important here and we have excellent teachers. We also have great activites for example i am in many clubs and go to many games. All the students are friendly and it is not intiminating. Are school may have some unfair administration sometimes but we still have fun. I say this school is much better than any other school in the area. I love it and hav school spirit. So do all the others in our school. As my opinion i would say that this is the school to go to in this area of Nebraska from a students point of veiw.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2007-07-04 “This school provides a pretty decent education but is terrible for students. Students are extremely restricted in activities and are given almost no freedoms. School spirit is almost non-existent because of the rules and restrictions set forth by the administration. The administration does not allow kids to be kids or have any fun. While education is definately the biggest, most important part of high school, it is not all. Kids still need to be kids and have fun, which this school does not allow. The high school experience is negative, if at all even existent. As a student I would highly discourage for anyone to attend if they have the choice.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2006-08-10 “In my opinion this is one of the best schools in the area, if not the best. The clubs are a great use of time and are definitaly well-structured. The teachers are friendly and the school is safe.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-03-20 “The education level at Papio South High School is above any expectations. The staff are willing to be available at any time, for any problem and the academic choices are enviable. Compared to other schools in this area, I chose Papillion South for my daughter's education. I just can't say enough about the wonderful environment for education.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 2 2005-12-09 “As an African American attending Papio South I feel there is NOT much adversity. I think the school should do more to educate Papio South students on Afican American culture because 'some' of the students now are just plain ignorant.” Posted By: student Quality Score: 5 2005-11-30 “I think that Papillion La-Vista South is a great school. As an 05-06 freshmen, I have felt accepted into Papio South ever since I started there in August 17, 2005. I believe that there is now more school pride than ever. I think that the only reason people did not have school pride before was because of the fact that it was a new school in 2003 and people weren't used to it. Overall, I really like this school and i hope it is there for years to come.” Posted By: former student Quality Score: 3 2005-01-05 “Papillion La Vista South is a school that is very safe to trust and attend. The school is highly equipt with video cameras throughout the campus as well as on staff security guards. But the school seems more Staff friendly then Student friendly. Attending the school, as a Senior, I have noticed that there is no school pride in the atmosphere. There is a lack of love, dedication, and motivation throughout the students in every grade. Principal leadership seems to be in favor of the staff and there is a lack of trust and respect toward students that is also experienced. I like my school, but it most certainty needs its improvements for the interest of the students.”
