My experience at Sherwood High School has been, overall, very good. I have met some incredible people, I have had wonderful teachers, and I feel like I have learned a lot in all of my classes. Sherwood's educators have helped me maintain my 4.0 GPA and helped me score fives on AP exams. I think Sherwood's athletics program allows for a lot of great school spirit and camaraderie between students. Furthermore, I have had an incredible experience in the Academy of Health Professions program offered at Sherwood. I was able to acquire a CNA license before graduating high school! Many schools don't offer this program. I believe Sherwood has a very welcoming and friendly atmosphere that helps promote learning. If I were to say something negative, it is that Sherwood seems to have a predominantly white student population. I feel like my school experience could have been different if there was a greater amount of diversity in my environment.
Sherwood High School is a good school. There’s diversity, but it’s average: mainly white students make up the majority. The teachers I had were nice and helpful. The college career person, Joseph Hock, was helpful when it came time for SAT and applying for colleges. The school has lots of events: rock and roll revival, homecoming(you can help out with homecoming halls), sports events, pep rallys(they weren’t all that great as the years went on though), musical concerts, theater productions and even a cultural presentation where students can show off their culture.
I really like most of my teachers and I would like to have more AP classes and more interesting clubs available. Teachers are passionate about seeing their students succeed. The diversity is very good, we have kids from different countries and all races. My school has a very competitive Medical 3 years program that I am part of it. The teachers encourage students to be involved and considerate and figure things out, while always offering a helping hand or a safety net. The school had a pretty big variety of sports, so everyone could find his passion if he/she likes sport. I would like to improve food in cafeteria to make it more edible. I would like to have a bigger range of internship opportunities and getting some help from the stuff to find those. I would like to have smaller class sizes and teachers who care. The most important part that require improvement is quality and cleaness of bathrooms. The bathrooms are frequently miss toilet paper, soap, and not clean.
