My son is now a senior at Sequoyah High school. The staff/teachers are easily accessible, and prompt with getting back to you. We have enjoyed Sequoyah High School, and I know my son has received a great education.

Am extremely disappointed in this school. We moved here because of the good things we had heard, but our experience has not been positive. The kids are great and the parental involvement is wonderful, but the administration is unprofessional, inaccesible, and often times rude. I think it would be

Although the teachers are nice and seem very dedicated, the level of academic instruction at this school is only mediocre in comparison with other public schools we have attended. My biggest dissapointment is, like mentioned earlier, the unprofessional administration, starting with the top administrator. Read less

Excellent school!! I moved here from out of state where the cost of education was more than double of the rate here. The school my children attended was pitiful. It was the main reason why I left. The 5 high schools in Cherokee county are in the top 5 percent in the state of Georgia. The parents and

The person that wrote that review has no idea how lucky they are to be in this school. I guess you don't realize how good a school really is until you come from a substandard one. You can always move to Hollywood. Read less

In my four years of school at Sequoyah, I must say that I greatly enjoyed it. The teachers were very focused on academic excellence, and the coaches were focused on making their programs one of the best in the state. I feel as though I got what I wanted out of high school. However, my love for the

You are not impressing anyone; in fact you are bringing the school down. Once a new administration is in place I am sure that Sequoyah will be a great institution that it once was. For now, I am at the peak of disappointment. As always, GO CHIEFS! Read less

The school is really great and a lot of the teachers are patient. However, some of the teachers need to retire, and some of them have no teaching ability. The school does not have a film or screenwriting program, the chosen profession of my daughter, and will inhibit her from getting into a good college

My daughter is a vegetarian, but she doesn't eat the salad the school provides. The trayed meals require that they give her meat, and she wont but it because of the close proximity of the meats and foods...It would make a difference if they encouraged healthier eating habits and offered a better variety of foods.

The school system has some really wonderful teachers and some that just need to find another profession. The principal is useless. His focus is on the school needs/numbers and not the needs of individual students. The required reading materials for literature would carry an X rating for sexual content.

Both of our boys are graduates of SHS. We feel it is the best high school in Cherokee County. The test scores rank as high as or are better than most North Fulton and Cobb County high schools. The biggest difference between SHS and other high schools in the area is the learning environment. Parent are

One of our sons was a member of the EXCELLENT band program. Our other son was very involved in athletics (not football). The coaches and band directors were interested in not only improving their music and athletic abilities, but their life skills as well. Their experiences with these program was invaluable! I would not recommend another Georgia high school any higher than SHS! Read less

SHS is one of the best High Schools in Cherokee County. The teachers have cared more for my son then any teachers he has ever had. SHS was ranked again in Newsweek's top 1000 U.S. schools for 2007. The AF Junior ROTC program has made a big difference in my son's schooling.

Great school! One of Newsweek's top 1000 in the country last year. Test scores are well above county and state averages. Lots of sports and a really good band. No major behavior problems. Football program is a bit over-the-top, but they have a winning program. I believe it's the best in the county.
