Sylvania is a great school, with ups and downs like all schools have.. The teachers are amazing, especially Frostycakes. We love Mrs. Chester. The one problem with Sylvania is our facility appearance. Our school is outdated and needs remodeling. Other than that, we have a great school with awesome teachers. I feel we learn a lot from them and they have fun with us. We need better school lunches. Take out breaded steak pattie and z rib. Gross! I love Sylvania no matter what.

I attended this school from Kindergarten-12th grade. I really enjoyed my years at Sylvania. The teachers there are very committed to their jobs and they love being there. I graduated a few years ago. I had Mr. King for 10th grade Geometry and he was an excellent teacher. I know he will be an excellent principal as well.

This school got a major improvement with the addition of new principal Westley King and asst. principal Keith Atchley. Both are very dedicated to all of the students and both are upstanding individuals in the community. With a new superintendent, this whole system will be much better.

I graduated from Sylvania in 2006 and really enjoyed it. I thought the world of every teacher there. All the staff is friendly and all of them love to laugh. I learned more from there than i did in my previous schools. Im not saying that theres not any bad teachers out there, but the main problem is students have no respect for teachers or anybody else. Most students dont even realize how good they have it there. The principle is a great guy, but seems to have favorites sometimes. Overall, this is a pretty good school. DS

I graduated from Sylvania in 1998. I was in the gifted program (which is a joke). We met once every month for a few hours. That's it. The school in itself has 0 AP or college prep classes.
