Sheldon does not possess a particularly challenging or friendly environment, especially for students with academic accommodations. The curriculum is not structured to challenge students who have job aspirations above entry level careers, and I was told to pass up a chance to accelerate my math classes in favor of an 'easy A'. I noticed that this school's staff tend to harbor a bad attitude toward students with accommodations like 504s, I was encouraged to disregard my mental health on multiple occasions. School counselors blatantly ignored my 504, and other students reported that staff had threatened to take away their 504. I feel unsafe around school staff now. The arts program is underfunded as well, my teacher had to request that students bring their own art supplies. Plenty of bustling after-school clubs to join, and a good selection of sports are offered. There are some great teachers but also some very incompetent ones as well. Drug use happens on campus.
The teacher really care. They pay attention and want you to succeed. They make you feel as if what you're doing not only matters, but will help you be a better person. They also challenge you - and help you "think". They treat everyone with respect - meeting you where you are as a person, and individual. The office staff are also there for you, and take time to help. The Principal is GREAT at communication (my Mom says) and gets involved with the students. He doesn't just sit in an office and send out emails. I have had a great experience at Sheldon (so far) and looking forward to two more great years! GO IRISH!!!
I have had an overall good experience throughout my high school years. Having attended Sheldon High since freshman year I know a lot about the way Sheldon functions. Athletes are highlighted within the school because we are known to have some of the best sports teams in the districts. Football especially is what the school revolves around. While this is good concerning school spirit, the stigma around male athletes is all too positive. This being said the other students involved in programs such as theater and clubs aren't represented as much. Creating this divide between those who partake in sports and those who do not isn't particularly healthy for the school atmosphere, but isn't noticed by the administration. Teachers are usually pretty helpful and are good mentors to look up to, but there are some that are simply unprofessional and treat classes differently based on their liking of the students.
