Spruce Grove Composite High School

I came here because I needed a place to stay, the staff seemed nice at the front desk but I thought it was odd that there were 29 other people given the same room to stay in. This hotel is very weird. The airflow is terrible and there is no beds to sleep in. I don’t understand why a hotel wouldn’t have beds. The bathrooms are ok but the door fell off while I was…. You know. And there was images of rappers above the urinals but I’m cool with that. Overall, not a good hotel

Absolutely horrible! We are new to Spruce Grove, the Assistant principal Anil Padayas is a complete jerk! Unreasonable, rude, judgemental, and can apparently deny children an education! He refused to allow my 15 and 16 year old boys to attend school! Now we have to move back to Edmonton so my kids can go to school! Absolutely ridiculous!

Had a great experience watching High school volleyball.

One would think that asphalt, being a cheap byproduct of the oil we extract and refine here in Alberta, shouldn't be a hard thing to obtain. Especially given the fact that the provincial government has dumped money into schools since they won the last election. One would also think that it wouldn’t be a hard thing to notice that the section of the field across from the parking lot has been unused for years, and is in perfect shape to hold more vehicles. The spot in the field is levelled, it’s elevated, and it’s perfect for pouring asphalt for a new parking lot. But due to extreme mismanagement of money, almost all students who drive are negatively affected daily. Looking into the cost of the new gender neutral bathrooms installed on the first floor of the building, I discovered that the average price spent on gender neutral bathrooms is $20,000-50,000USD ($25,000-62,000CAD) of taxpayer dollars. Let’s take a moment to apply real world statistics to our school:An estimated 0.3% of Americans identify as transgender. If we assume the population of our school to be 2,000 people in total, and assume that the population accurately reflects real world statistics, we can calculate that a total of 6 people in our school feel that they do not belong in a normal bathroom, and feel that they needed a gender neutral bathroom. It costs roughly $1.50USD ($1.90CAD) per sq/ft of asphalt (at 2 inches thick). Given these figures, an asphalt pad sizing 200 x 100 feet (20,000 sq/ft) would cost about $38,000CAD to construct, and would have benefited the majority of teachers and students, as well as provide adequate accommodations for many years to come. Therefore, a minimum of $25,000CAD was spent on accomodations for a total of 6 people, while the need for a larger parking lot of similar value to accommodate a growing student population went completely overlooked. All of this money was spent on (what most people would call) completely unnecessary renovations for a statistically irrelevant number of people in the school. These figures also completely exclude the unknown price of the new decorative front entrance to the school, complete with a fully functional fountain (which coincidentally takes up more space in the parking lot).To further represent the level of poor money management, the money spent per student who “needed” a gender neutral bathroom would have been anywhere from $4,166-10,333CAD. Assuming only a quarter (500 people) of the school’s over estimated (2000) population uses the parking lot, and assuming a new 100 x 200 ft parking lot would have cost a total of $38,000CAD, that equals out to a total of $76CAD spent on each theoretical student and teacher that uses the parking lot, excluding the number of other students that would be able to utilise a bigger parking lot, which would then lower the cost per student.

Almost nobody I talked to knew what Skylanders was, but the school is pretty chill.

I almost got suspended for knocking on a bathroom door. According to the amazing principal, knocking on the door breaks 5 laws. This school could not get worse honestly

I went through the Spruce Grove Composite High School Outreach. I had to upgrade for University for English 30-1. I was more than impressed with the flow of the whole course. The teachers were more than helpful, even through email. They applied even in the evening. Going through outreach was the less expensive way to upgrade and I am very thankful for that as university is already expensive.

Curriculum is fine, I struggle in a couple classes but I can still get good marks. Although I'm sick of teachers pushing their political agendas on students. It's really messed up having two thirds of my English class gang up on me in a class debate session" because the only other right-wing students in my class are too intimidated. I'm not against debates by any means

It is a Nice High School that is very welcoming to new students. I loved the experience Plenty of nice people teachers

There are few and rare but outstanding educational teachers here.However the school overall I would never recommend. The class sizes are so over crowded that students don't all get desks or supplies. New one can't be build fast enough.The principal Mrs Otto hates kids so I'm not sure as to why she became a principal. I have 5 children. All higher level grades, not trouble makers, so no trips to her office. Other than to speak on behalf of those ive seen her bully. She is so disliked that at grad 2021 no one! Not 1 single person in the crowd clapped when she expected it on stage. She has a black heart in all matters she should NOT be working with children or families. I feel sorry for the staff. Get rid of the evil and this school will flourish.
