As a former student, I must say that this school offers an unsatisfactory education. While I was a student, very few teachers challenged students or created an interesting learning enviroment. They show extreme favoritism. While not strong in areas such as math, Sweet Springs does have a very active and excellent Agriculture program. This is the only plus to the school. As far as extracurricular activities go, there are very few. They have most sports, but not much besides that. If the school spent less on sports, they might have a chance of offering students not interested in athletics a chance to participate. Beyond less than stellar academics and lacking extracurriculars, the general attitude of the school is extremely divided. You have a large seperation in the student body, unusual for a school this size. Even small class sizes can't make up for the lack of options in classes or activities.

I believe that Sweet Springs is a good school. The principal is not the best, but he does try very hard to please everyone. There are not enough extra-curricular activites for students to be involved in. I graduated from here, and everyone is very positive. The teachers want to see the students succeed.

I love our school system. The kids are taught, and there are so many possitive things for the children and the parents to be involved in. I went to school here, and now my kids do. Things are even better for them today!

I think that our school is the best school! The teachers are really nice and they know haw teach us. Our school has an awsome band! Our Band Director is the best anyone could have! I think there should be a shorter summer break.

If you truly mean a shy kid who wants to be outgoing, then I would help them interact with one child at a time. If you are talking about an introverted child, refer to http://www.carlkingdom.com/10-myths-about-introverts

Find something you are good at or enjoy doing a lot, just one thing. You'll gain confidence and meet other kids that enjoy that activity too. Mine was singing in choir. I wasn't good at anything else but that built my confidence for other things... More »
