Stanhope Elmore High School

avoid at all costs you will be better off never setting foot on the campus

I also want to point out a rather suspect practice that SEHS began with this past years graduating class: I paid $95 for my sons cap and gown which included a 2010 tassel; he had to turn the gown over in order to receive his diploma! so I basically paid $95 for a cap and cheap tassel? that is BS! If someone had communicated that to me I might not have felt ripped off but this is not the way you make improvements; there is ZERO communication between the administration of this school and the parents and they do underhanded practies to make money. I didn't get to order my sons cap & gown pictures either because that was so poorly organized that I was told they ran out of order forms?!?!?!? Pathetic!

Stanhope Elmore is a great school. I previously worked there and found the staff and faculty to be a great, caring group of people. True, they need a more permanent adminstrator but hopefully that will be this year!

Stanhope is such a great school. Their new library is incredible. The laptops allow students to acces the web from anywhere on campus. The librarians are helpful with finding books. The English teachers provide helpful feedback on essays for college, as well as assignments for other classes.

i am an attending student of sehs, and i think it is a great school, besides the dress code rules. I am proud to be a mustang c/o 2011

I'm a parent and this year the school seems better than in previous years. The administrators all seem to be doing a good job and although I've heard lots of complaints about the changes they've made, I appreciate them because I know they're putting the students first. Keep up the good work!!!

I graduated from sehs in 2006, I enjoyed my time there. True they lack a good leader. I think they should place mrs.Earl as the leader she will get things done around there. And you can make it places once you graduate from there, look at me im in the united states air force the hardest branch to get into!

I am a current student of Stanhope. Some of the other reviews of this school has been a bit harsh. Yes , kids have dropped out, but that is not the school's fault. Its either the students themselves or the parents. Honors classes & AP classes are available to students, Its the student's choice to challenge themselves. The parking problem has been solved. Traffic could be better, but its more of a safety thing. One way in & One way out , easier for security. There is rarely ever parent involvment. The teachers here at SE are great [most of them]. In my Sophomore all of my teachers helped us out greatly in passing the High School Graduation Exams. There are many new electives this year, & the arts program is getting better.

This is a very friendly school with lots of possibilities for students to participate in extra-curricular activities. Whether a student thinks the classes are easy or hard depends on how challenging the classes are that the student selects! AP classes are available.
