Good teachers, some rules are silly especially for the seniors (not leaving campus, eating in the courtyard, dissuading study halls) but I like all the clubs and the teachers clearly care about us. A lot of my teachers have big hearts. A good chunk of my peers are planning on going to college, which is awesome, but I felt like they promoted Duke way to much considering it can cost $500,000 to go there....otherwise good school!
Its hilarious that the REVIEW section is dedicated to children whining about so called "unfair" treatment. It's apparent from the reviews that some students need to reflect more on themselves before proceeding out into the big world of "Google reviews". These kids are at that stage in life where they feel they are never in the wrong, combine that with computers and i guess some feel their best course of action is to post here. Nobody will ever look at the Google reviews and if they do its unlikely they will take it seriously especially since this particular section seems to consist of students complaining and the teachers reassuring them. I'll honor the the school by giving constructive feedback anyway.
The teachers here are extremely respectful and more than qualified for the job. All the teachers are willing to reach out to the students and talk over their issues. The environment here is respectful and supportive everyone feels like a family (some that are loved and some that are less than loved).
There are several issues with the school. Not with the students or staff but rather with class options. SCS is much smaller than other traditional high schools and the classes definitely suffer. The creative part of the school consists of extremely specific video production, audio production, and digital media. It would be nice to also have several web technology oriented classes to supplement the existing ones
Although its not really my style sports take a big hit due to the year-round schedule. The school day ends at 4:00 (announcements take a long time so we get out at 4:10 usually). This means that sports clubs are already in session when we get out.
Also if you look to the right that lake area looks kinda like a spine and if you look to the top left it looks like a hand
