Sherman Oaks Center for Enriched Studies Reviews
Rating 3.62 out of 5 422 reviews
The best part about SOCES is that it is very diverse. There are many chances for you to start new friendships. I have built many relationships with teachers as well. There are also many chances for you to participate in school activities, like starting or joining clubs, doing a sport, or being involved in places like the robotics team, Academic Decathlon, or Speech and Debate. Something I think should change is giving students the preparation of choosing courses, especially for high school. As someone who just finished freshman year, I feel like if I had learned the requirements for high school earlier on, then I would have been more prepared. For example, counselors should talk about AP classes, summer courses, and electives.
I’ve attended Sherman Oaks CES since 8th grade and throughout the years I’ve developed amazing friendships with my peers in that school. I believe SOCES has a good system to make people more productive and selfless, especially when we higher class mates have the pressure to be a good role model for the elementary and middle school students. The only aspect of the school that I strongly disagree is the limited ability to enjoy you high school years without seeing younger students everywhere and the school putting most of their energy towards those younger students, forgetting that it’s our first and only time experiencing high school too.
My school, Sherman Oaks Center of Enriched Studies, is an amazing place where you can interact easily with many kind teachers and peers. Our teachers and students motivate us to be the better version of ourselves in the classroom and outside of it. The best part of being at this school is making the friends I have today. You can meet many people by joining the clubs we have at school, like the robotics club or speech and debate. Something I'm not really fond of about SOCES is the organization with choosing courses, especially summer courses. Other than that, everything else is great.
