Average homework maybe an hour a day.

There are only a handful of teachers that really care and want to see students succeed My son was told he would never graduate high school by his teacher even though he had a B plus average in that class . Favoritism plays a large role and I have personally witnessed a video where the same teacher told his entire class that they can just learn out of the book for the rest of the semester!

I dont know where all these five star reviews are coming from. How can they instill character integrity when teachers call students lazy, chubby I heard about this from another student who attends Sproul. And with cell phones there is proof of what is really going on. This just one of the reasons students cant have cell phones out even at lunch. I am quite aware of privacy laws and not a naïve parent but I am doing everything in my power to ensure my daughter gets out of school district 3 !!!!!!

It all starts from the top. I should of pulled my son out of that school.
During parent student orientation the principal stated any student with pants hanging off them will get zip tied belts. Im ok with that but the boys Will receive a pink zip ties !!! In this day and age that is totally absurd I thought pink was supposed to represent cancer awareness not embarrassment to the student !

Im giving honest reviews and have no experience or knowledge in this area.

They will address student on student bowling but keep in mind teachers do you have favorites. Teacher bullying students however is another story as in my previous comments .

If you can try to find another school district and do your due diligence .

I would rate my experience as 5 stars because it feels like a community because teachers truly care about each other and the students.

The school understands the importance of homework but does not give too much of it.

It was an a amazing experience that truly helped me understand how the real world is. The dress code is a little strict it it is kept very well and is very reasonable when all things are considered.

I've had two students attend Sproul and love this school. The entire staff is caring and strives to make school and learning fun. Their state test scores improved significantly recently, receiving the Governor's Distinguished Improvement Award!

Absolutely terrible school Staff turnover rate is second to none. Just about keeping their heads above water truly a "Spartan" culture. Principal is clearly there to collect a pay check and do as little as possible only mitigating closure by a hair. Terrible Terrible school. A disgrace on Widefield District 3 which has some great schools and teachers. This schools poor reputation precedes itself amongst parents and teaching staff at other schools in the district. Has had to replace almost the entire teaching body between 2012 and 2013 I have heard. Awesome waste of your Tax dollars. Take your $6000 and go private. This is exactly the kind of school they are talking about when they say schools are failing our kids . Rated no stars and 3 black stripes.

Love the secretaries, teachers and coaches. My son has excelled at this school because of the staff is amazing.

I personally think its to strict, and think focus needs to be more worked on towards bully kids. Things aren't followed through from my experience, and frustrated with issues delt with. Im looking forward tomove away from the general area. The district has been nothing but a problem since I've moved here over 5 years ago. Hope to see things work out for the better.
