Minimal academic focus. Lessons in areas of responsbility and accountability as a young adult are nt taught in this school. This will prove disastrous if a student wants to continue beyond HS.

This school is definitely underperforming. We moved our child out of Public High School. We reviewed many schools and settled on Sequoia based on their stated College Preparatory, Academic Mastery and high Academic focus. What we received was far different. Few assignments, a total of 1 final exam

After putting my kids in the Gilbert school system I realized just how good this school was and is. I ended up putting my child back in this school. At Sequoia he is treated as an individual and the teachers don't seem as burned out.

I believe as a student of eight years. I am happy to leave.I loved the teachers but wasn't happy on the disciplinary issues needed more help.It seemed to me that certain students got special rights. They need to work on certain subjects equally and not just two or three main ones.The harassing by students
