Festus High School is a welcoming environment between the teachers and welcoming clubs. The counselors are always ready to help with any questions about classes or your future out passed high school. The teachers are also ready for any questions about their classes or subject and are always helpful and offering time for help.

Overall the high school is clean and the staff all try their best and work really hard. The constant push for renovations and add ons are also a nice perk. There are some issues that I've noticed like crowding and overall not having enough space for the amount of students they have. Especially students who have disabilities may face struggles getting to their classes in crowded hallways.

Great school with great teachers and activities. I feel that Festus has prepared me for college. Lots of upgrades going on at the school to help get the facilities be one of the best in Missouri. Very safe school with limited access to campus when school is in.
