Sheldon High School

It's my first year here, and I think the school is great. The teachers really try to help prepare you for your future, and the amount of clubs and activities is amazing. The band is top-notch, and the school offers you classes no other school does.

The classes offered at Sheldon are absolutely great to the point, I wish I was in high school again. It is one of the safest campus'. Sheldon is one of the biggest melting pots of cultures I have seen in a high school, what is more amazing is the kids have no real issues with eachother, they do what they can to understand differences in each culture and appreciate the likeness' and the differences. Sheldon rocks

I am now a soph. at sheldon, and I like the school alot, I like that there is more of a var. of students than there is at valley, also alot of guitarists, like me, also the kids are cool, I've only been there since jan and already I have lots of new friends, they remind of some my other friends at valley that I've known since elem. school. And I like the teachers too like my art teacher I had this last year, Mr. spaulding, the reason why I say this, is that in my first week he was imp. w/ my playing and since then we've traded our knowl. of music to each other, in all I like sheldon and I plan grad. from there.

This may not be the greates school location-wise, but academically there is so much to offer. Programs tailored to certain career fields and special courses make the school a great learning environment.

I love my school. It may not be the best but the activities they offer make it so fun. For example, the animation class is great and not found any where else, there is a great new engineering teacher who is making things very cool, and a video game class that nutures those who love to play. Its great here, and even though it may not be the best in academics, the extracirriculars offer make it the fun enviroment high school should be.

It think this school is pretty great, because of diversity and test scores and the school really has a great design to it, and also it's clean.

The school has a lot of great teachers. THey have many classes that are not offered by any other school. All the teachers are very supportive and patient in helping you pass the class. My best experience in sheldon high school was my last year of high school. My teachers helped me pass all 3 of my AP tests.

If you have a student that is above average, he/she will be catered too at Sheldon. However, students that might need some extra help, are lost in the huge crowds at Sheldon. Not easy to get in touch with counselors. All of Elk Grove Unified School District needs to stop pushing college prep on everyone, there are many that will never go on to college, but what are they doing for them?

It's not a great environment for those who need individualized attention. With that being said, I liked the school because they offered academies and lots of different clubs. One thing that I saw a lot was cliques, lack of parental involvement, and counselors. There is a lot of AP courses to choose from but students just have to find a niche. I recommend students getting involved with Student Government, Mr. Grivel teaches a lot of life lesson I take with me today.

I'm not really impressed with Sheldon High School. The acedemics are just average. Parent involvement is really low.
