I really liked the size of the classes and the overall environment of the school. I believe that there could be improvement involving the teachers. There are a few GREAT teachers who really know what they are doing and are amazing at their jobs, yet there are others who just read the textbook and don't fully understand the concepts themselves. The sports are amazing and they are like a second family. The sports programs are great!
South Lyon High School was a fair school. I felt that a good majority of the teachers really cared about me and my future and as a college student now, I still keep in touch with two of them. I felt that the facilities were very nice overall. My biggest complaint would be the lack of mental support. There was a time during my senior year where I had gone through a traumatic event and was sent to the counselor to try and calm down. There, the counselor couldn't help me any further than asking me about my college plans which were definitely not what I needed at that time.
South Lyon High School has an environment that only really cares about the sports teams. As an arts student, this is frustrating because we always receive poor funding and administration pays little attention to us. Also, the community at the school is very poor. Students are constantly mean to each other, and teachers are usually on a power trip over their students, causing them to feel dumb a lot of the time. However, the school runs functionally and offers a variety of possible classes to take, so students can have a choice in their educational pathway.
