Pittsford Sutherland is known for its high success level and for the high percentage of students that go on to receive a higher level of education. Furthermore, it offers a variety of elective classes and programs that allow students to explore their interests in an in depth setting with others that share the same passion as them. While this school does an excellent job of preparing its students for college, it often fails to teach them and emphasize the importance of simple things, such as empathy and the ability to recognize how fortunate they are.

A nice small nit community with teachers who are highly involved. Teachers are amazing here and are very interested in our well being. Students can feel safe and comfortable at Sutherland. There is a wide variety of electives to choose from and no one is denied the opportunity to find their path. The sports teams are decent and being on one is very fun, and teaches hard work and dedication. Students are held to high standards which makes the transition to college, and getting accepted into colleges a lot easier.
Sutherland prepares students very well for college. Students take for granted the quality of the teachers (for the most part) as well as how much the teachers want you to succeed. Little to no diversity and a very liberal vibe. Many students are very well off and that is easy to see. The food and the parking lot are not up to par but when thinking about about sending your kids to a high school, academics come first and this is the one to be at.
