by a student
Sunday, June 3, 2012

It is the BEST school you can go to! It provides a fantastic music program (who normally is a top contender in competitions. Also, every year in the music program you go on a trip like Six Flags or Disneyland. The elective classes are awesome! They have a state of the art technology lab in Depoali. Depoali is also one of the few middle schools that haven't turned to uniforms. The bullying problem is not even tolerated at the school, which defiantly makes kids feel safer at the school. And the best part about Depoali is the teachers. They really connect with the students and are EXTREMLY nice! If you're looking for a safe and fantastic middle school in Washoe County, Depoali is the place to go. Close Quote
