My son will be entering the 12th grade in September. It is an absolute disgrace!!! The school as a whole is disorganised and the kids are not learning a thing. Maybe the school district should get involved to make some adjustments because for now, our kids in this school are heading toward a future of illiteracy. I wish we had not sent my son ther in the first place. All my hopes for him are lost.

You people are weak to talk about your own school like this. I'm very disappointed to see all of this negativity towards our school. Of course you guys couldn't see any hope because hope for new foundations requires it from those involved. Our school is wonderful, beautiful, and one of the best, but mostly what you make it, period. People will not see the greatness of this school until we make it there, but thanks for the lack of support and trying to bear with us because we are new. No wonder your one star rating does not reflect our overall rating. No school is perfect but we are as close to it as you can get considering the district we are in with the unavailability of funds. This is not a serious review because it is easier to hate than to love so just get the book 'What's Next?'.

Ima 1st year learner at sof , and wht i can say about this skool is the its just like overbrook but just with computers. We do have teahears who care about our education. We also have a tight security crew...Ms.davis plays no games =)..but if your child doesnt know anything about computers dont send him/or her here.!

Hello I am a student that attends this school and my experience here is very horrible. The only good thing about the school is that they give us free laptops but, on the other hand they have millions of tech problems and which effects are grade. We do have a help desk but there service is very horrible. They always take forever to fix are problems, they're hardly ever there and they can be quite rude and unprofessional at times. But out of all the problems I think the worst is the teachers. Don't get me wrong, We do have good teachers like Ms.Lee and Ms.Reber but they're are other teachers who loses your work and some teach faster then the students can understand. If your thinking about sending your child to this school please don't do it. it's no better then sending your child to university city or overbook PS-the nurse only comes on Thursday

My son will be entering the 10th grade this year. I am very disappointed with this school thus far. I put all my hopes in this school and I don't see any results. Last year my son was learning third grade math in the 9th grade and he came from a catholic school where he had a very good academic foundation. I believe this school is setting my son up to fail, but I feel stuck because I have no where else to send him.

This school is NOT the best school in the world! To me it is the worst! I have been going to SOTF for 2 years now and i can honestly say that if i stay in this school i will not be ready for college and i will not be sucessful with finding a GOOD career. SOTF had a lot of potential to be a good school but it is not due to the students /staff it is because of all the tools we have for learning that is right now going to a complete waste. The students get away with what ever they want and we dont learn ANYTHING! people from the outside looking in might think that we have a nice school because of the way the building looks and the laptops we have...PLEASE dont be fooled and PLEASE dont send you child to high school of the future.
