Shaker Heights High School Reviews
Rating 3.91 out of 5 337 reviews
The education that can be received at the school is great! Unfortunately many issues plague the school. Incoherent schedules that make understanding where and when you're supposed to be difficult, violent fights that often occur in the school, and issues with staffing for students with IEPs
While the Shaker Heights High School can be improved there are many good things about it. The academics are good with lots of different options between honors, AP, IB, and fun electives to take. The sports are also a lot of fun whether you are participating or just watching a game. I had so much fun on the field hockey team as it was a great community and was a great way to make friends. There are also many art/music classes you can take (orchestra, band, photography, jewelry, painting, etc). I was in orchestra all four years of high school and it was so much fun. Shaker is also filled with a lot of open-minded people who want to make a change in the world. However, sometimes there are issues with staffing for students with IEPs (not all but some) and there are fights that occur within the school. Overall though I had a good experience at Shaker.
Shaker Heights High School was the first level of Shaker Heights schools I attended, and I've been told I was blessed to not attend the middle school. When I initially toured the high school, I knew I wanted to go there. The academics are all fine but I had the most fun with the theatre program and on the crew team - both of which could stand to be funded a little more, especially the theatre program. The football team is not good enough for how much money goes into them. Also I think more classes should utilize the courtyard, it's nice.
