Under the atrocity that is Common Core, how can any one school, academically, be better than another? But beyond that, they are not exactly all-inclusive. The fundraisers that they have sell products that not everyone can afford, or would even want - $25 for a candle - therefore not all students can participate. At the fifth grade graduation one year, around 30 students were in attendance, but the same 3 or 4 students, two of whom were already being honored for having the highest GPAs, were then given the awards for being the best in every single subject there while the rest of the children sat there unacknowledged. They go to the exact same spots every year for field trips and vacations even though the school is within reasonable distance to Washington D.C., which would be far more educationally valuable than Dollywood. In other words, it's nothing special unless they consider YOU something special.

I am currently attending Shady Spring High School and can’t wait to see how all that this great school can help me prep for Princeton University.

Good, if you ignore the loud people, and if your lucky. I am a student and I reccomend this school. You wont get beat up unless you attack first, but there was a vape problem where vapes where found everywhere. It was just one kid who wasted so much money on empty vapes to play a huge prank. Also the SOME of thekids here are nice as hell. There was some rich kid who bought fundraiser chocolate and gave it out to everyone on the bus. Good times, man. Good times.
