If you can't keep straight As, look else where. You either make it, or you don't. They would rather stick you in with the disabled kids (not downing disabled kids) than actually help you catch up with people.

You'll get loaded on homework 24/7, in-classroom assignments are always on the back burner.

You can sometimes tell when a worker does his job for the paycheck and the benefits alone, and it's apparent with most teachers here.

Majority of students tend to be rude to anyone they aren't friends with, and tend to not care at all about personal integrity.

Good luck ever getting any help from counselors or teachers when it comes to trying to catch up on the curve. You either make it or you don't, no in-betweens.

Don't think I've seen a worse school when it comes to bullying. Teachers give no cares about anything related to it.

They only help the kids that have popular or wealthy parents.

My mom went here in the 1980s, but my experience has been horrible. If your parents are not part of a certain social circle in Sherwood, then a kid has no chance of being involved in anything or recognized for your achievements. It doesn't matter how talented you are or how much potential you have, but if you don't have the right last name, then you will have no chance at being recognized at this school. This school will remain below average until they start working on developing hard-working kids with potential.

Would look at any other option for your child's education, then this school. A complete overhaul of administration and teaching staff is needed, not the building like they say is needed for tac increase. Several schools in area do better with older buildings. But our children's education is failing due to poor treatment and care of the staff.

Not only that they seem to take every opportunity to destroy a child's self esteem and worth.

7 class periods and only 1 teacher has reviewed child's 504. Because none of the teachers have read it administrators decided to end some accommodations. Also told by guidance counselor there is no one on campus to deal with a child with mental health issues.

I honestly don't like this school as a student not just cause the teachers are rude or mean or whatever. But because of the hard work I do isn't enough. They made me start from scratch. I lost all my credits that I earned from my old school. And when I try to earn my credits back from back from my school they still don't do anything bout it. Am a 9th grader stressing like crazy, I refuse to make any friends, I refuse to eat lunch, and I refuse to let this people take away this thing that's very dear to me. My education!!!! Their telling me I only have 2 credits from second quarter. And now am somehow suppose to swing this and get 3 more credits before the end of the year. And if I don't I have to spend over bout 200 of dollars just trying to make up my credits during my summer...In my old school summer school was free and they didn't try to hold you back on propose just to earn more money for the teachers. If you don't want your kids to be heart broken ( like me) or held back for a selfish purpose .

If you want fun, this is the school. The education here isn't the best. I think the school should be stricter. I am so glad that I left the school. At first I was a little reluctant on leaving the school, but I am so glad that I left the school.
