Saginaw High School

Unsafe campus. Students do not learn anything well,. They throw too much information at the students at once and do not thoroughly teach them anything...thanks to standardized testing! Students not involved in band or athletics are completely disenfranchised.

My son attended Saginaw High School and was a member of the band. He thoroughly enjoyed his time there. He received good grades and I was happy with the level of communication with his teachers.

I have attended functions at this school for Band and other activities. I found found this school to be exceptionally clean and welcoming. I think their cirriculum is very broad and offers a vast amount of extra school activities.

My niece attends this school, she is very active in the sports programs they have thier. Her teachers seem to be very active with keeping up her grades.

This school is very active with the students. The school is always having fund raisers and is dedicated to helping the students achieve thier goals for extra cirricular activites. My nephew has attended shows and participated in some over the past 2 years and the school is amazing.

Guidance secretaries tell you one thing and will have you jump through hoops to get the information they have to have, but if you need information it's like pulling teeth! Was not given ID when told student would have one done at registration, was not given bus information during regitration, wasn't given students ID # during registration. Student was told they would get ID forst thing when they walked into building on the forst day and did they - NO they waited ALL day miss lunch because of line, then was told to go get schedule before they could give ID and again the child missed second chance at lunch was also late to class because of long lines for ID.. Child then had nothing to eat the entire day until after practice because this school can't seem to pull it together! Exemplary in the futiure? HA!

My step son attended Saginaw High school for his Freshman, Sophomore and Junior year. Each year, we struggled with our son's grades, and came to notice that the teachers were extremely lenient. I felt as though, the students were allowed way to many opportunities to re do work, correct work, or even replace grades with re work. I understand that in the end, it may better the student because it allows them the additional time to do better, but this doesnt teach them responsiblity. I felt as though they took "advantage" of the opportunities that they knew would be given, and didnt take responsiblity when it should have been done the 1st time.

I've been going to this school for 2 years now, and i love it :) We are laid back, and pretty forgiving, but still know when to be serious. Go Rough Riders!

All the sport teams have been doing phenomonal and are only been getting better, looks like most are going to be district champs.Im in the sos marching band and im extremely glad that im invovled, we are literally like one family and we always look out for each other especially since we went to the state marching contest back in november (our 2nd time to go since 05). Everyone here is just amazing and with a diverse group of kids, its abetter feel of what the real world holds head. I am honestly proud to be called a rough rider. This school is just amazing, just a great place to be for high school. I love it here

I am a senior this year at Saginaw, and my experience at Saginaw High School has been great. The teachers are always willing to go above and beyond for any student in need. The principals are great, its almost as if they know every individual student personally. This school is pretty new, but getting overcrowded hopefully the new high school will help out with that problem, but the sports teams are growing and climbing up the ladder in district play it'll be soon when almost all Saginaw teams are district champs. Class of 2010 the BEST there's ever been!
