I was supposed to graduate from here in 2022. I was being severely bullied by students and even some staff like security were outright rude, discriminatory, and unhelpful. Very few trusted adults in this building. My school counselor helped me drop out the day I turned 17 and while I was greatful th
Posted by a community member on 2/3/2026Better off skipping this school and definitely do not trust the teacher rating their own school. The school uses this app to boost their self esteem. It’s not about putting yourself out there, that’s the wrong message to send. It’s an unsafe school with a bunch of adults that are not the role models
Posted by a community member on 1/30/2026As a teacher at SHHS, I can honestly say this place is so incredibly special. Contrary to some of these other reviews, this school, and any high school for that matter, is what you make it. Most students who dislike school make the choice to not be involved. There are clubs, sports, AP/IB courses, v

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 children that went to this school since 2019. They have always had wonderful teachers there who are supportive of their learning, but we found a lot of these teachers were leaving and there was a lot of turnover in the earlier years. This past year 24-25 there was a new principal that started at this school and she has been amazing compared to the previous principal. She engages with the community, parents, and students and I think she will really revive this school. The school is a title 1 school with all of the challenges that this brings, so I'm sad to see that some areas they don't have as much funding for like a full time music teacher. I really hope that this doesn't get worse in the future given the real potential to eliminate the DoE and the funding that this brings to the school.The biggest criticism I have is that it took a while to get my 2nd child on a specialized learning plan as she has some struggles with encoding/decoding and this doesn't show up in her overall test scores because she is gifted in other areas. So it took a while to get this taken care of, because you have to dig deeper at her reading scores and evaluations to get to that. Fortunately we got the attention of the new principal and her teacher and were able to get her on the right path.Parent Review10mo ago - Trails West Elementary School
