Spring Lake Park High School

"This school is trash. The staff are incredibly rude. I have been pushed down in the lunchroom before in front of teachers and they yelled at me for being on the ground. What? And then in class if you get a question wrong everyone laughs at you and the teachers treat you like scum. Unless you have straight A's or an athlete then nobody cares about you. There's too many ghetto people and dare even look at them and you'll get harassed. It doesn't matter if you're throwing up or bleeding everywhere the teachers won't let you leave until after the first ten minutes of class have started or if there's less than 10 minutes of class left. If you ask for help after school 90% of the teachers will give you attitude. Send your kids somewhere else because I'll definitely be changing schools next year."

"I graduated in 2015 and I tell you this school has been fun since freshman year then started going down hill. In freshmen year Mr.brotten was one of the best teacher in the school. He knew what he was doing and wanted to help. But 2 years later brotten was not their, no more autos and woods so I talked to the counselor to see what I could do for the first 2 hrs of my day so I traveled every day to century college for auto technology loved it and got student certification. Also the lunch was not good at all if I forgot to bring my lunch I would rather not eat lunch that is how bad it was. Hope this helps to make this place much better."

"A lots changed since my days here. I hear the Autos Program and Shop got cut, which is rather disappointing. I learned many of my life skills from good old Mr. Brotten. He was one of the best there was."

"Send your kid to a different school if you can help it. Staff is rude and focuses more on why you are using the bathroom in the first 10 minutes of class than bullying issues. Superintendent won't cancel school even if its -25 with the windchill and not even if the road conditions are unsafe. The price for a parking pass is outrageous and for what reason? I'm not sure considering our parking lots barely every get plowed or attended to. We don't have a homecoming dance or snodaze dance. Just prom which half the school can't even attend. We don't have unique or fun class choices. By my Junior year I had pretty much taken every class that even remotely interested me. The school drops classes just to save money even though a large number of students sign up for them. We don't have a cheerleading squad. The athletic director is very rude and unless you're an athletic, he looks at you like you're scum on the bottom of his shoe. We no longer have counselors. They were replaced by what are now called deans. There is one assigned for each group of students based on last names. They are always so busy, it is impossible to talk with them or have a meeting with them unless you have a quick chat in the hallway. Classes are very large and over crowded. School lunches are absolutely terrible. Half the stuff they serve I sometimes wonder if its legal to serve to us. (And I'm not over exaggerating. I've found so much raw chicken in my meals its not even funny.) This school is very clichey and is run based upon how athletic you are and how popular you are. If you don't play sports, then you are a nobody. This school won't do the pledge of allegiance unless the students complain or protest. So send your kids to Blaine or Centennial if you can."

"Terrible school. Nice building, worst staff for their positions. Total staff overhaul would make the school a much better and enjoyable place. Lunches suck most days and too many ghetto kids coming in, making the school not as nice as it used to be even a year or two ago. Place has been going downhill since 2008. iPads are a distraction, nothing more. Work is harder to do on them. Don't get sucked in by the idea that they're useful tools, in reality all you will be doing is playing games all day. Staff violate your rights left and right. Not a good school at all, your kids deserve a better highschool experience."
