Scarsdale High School fosters a very intense academic environment that, while intense at times, really does push students to be their very best. Additionally, there are so many support systems within Scarsdale that students can and should take advantage of. A Scarsdale education really does prepare you well for your future academic endeavors and personal life goals. It consistently has its students enrolling in some of the most elite undergraduate institutions in the nation and graduates from Scarsdale become leaders in their fields, whether that be business, medicine, film, etc. While it is definitely a challenging environment for some, Scarsdale High really is one of the best high schools in the nation.
Scarsdale High School is largely filled with ambitious, wealthy, white, liberal, Jewish students who mainly focus on getting into college. That said, despite the homogeneity of the student body and the high-stress environment, Scarsdale High School has excellent teachers and an intensely competitive atmosphere that really prepares students to succeed in life.
Scarsdale High School is the type of school where kids brag about their grades, and being smart does not (in my experience) have a correlation with being bullied-- In many cases, it often seems doing well in school is something that is admired. This definitely allows for a competitive environment where students are motivated to do well, although perhaps to the detriment of their stress levels.
There's not a lot of school spirit, to the point where homecoming didn't even exist my senior year. Pep rallies are pretty boring events that kids try to cut, and sports are fun, but for the most part not too important.

Students usually care mostly about grades and college. The food is great. Facilities are great. A lot of teachers are great while some are terrible. The environment is very competitive which is unhealthy but it pushes kids to be better. Sports are decent. Clubs are good. School spirit is low because the students are tired. If you're not academically challenged and you work hard, you should be set for college.
Another huge thing about SHS - IT IS VERY DIVIDED AND LACKS DIVERSITY. It's divided by gender, race, and between domestic students and international students (Generally speaking. There are some exceptions). Also there is homophobia, transphobia, and racial biases within the student body and faculty. Although within the faculty, it's mostly racial biases if anything. Some kids are outright racist. The school is mostly rich white jewish kids. If they're not Jewish, they're probably Christian. You have to find your niche here. If you fail to... good luck. It's a very cliquy place.
