I have found this school to be exceptional in every way. My son once struggled at another school and Sequoyah teachers and administration worked so hard to help him reach his full potential. I feel that he is not only learning and getting a great academic education but the positive values and approach are helping him become a great person. I would recommend this school highly.

This school was once exceptional in administration and teacher quality but it has seriously declined. Problems which are brought to the attention of the administration of this school go unheard and feedback and/or attempts to resolve issues are ignored.
