Now being a senior at Stratford High, I must say I have learned quite a lot. However, what I have learned has not been from teachers, administration, or guidance. It has been from my peers, my best friends, my enemies, and my experiences from the school. I have learned about myself and acquired much

They seem to have no appreciation or respect for us, but instead bash us on our 'our society has become worse and worse as the years go by.' Do I really want to arrive at school every morning knowing I am walking into a classroom and will receive no respect? NO. Honestly, I have hated Stratford since the second I was a freshman. Read less

I have found that most of the parents who complain about this school have problems with thier student not the school. This is a very good school but as in any school you will only get out what you put in. Many parents and students need to step up thier game. Read less

As a parent of a band student I can assure nonband parents that band or the arts are not high on the schools or Berkeley counties fund list.

Any high school in this state comes with it's fair share of downfalls. Stratford certainly has issues with funding all the activities it likes to host as well as keeping the interest of both the high-achieving students and the students with disabilities in mind.

Unless you have a child with these types of problems you cannot understand the frustration of watching schools just push them to the back.
