We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have has nothing but good experiences and interactions with the school an faculty. They have been very helpful with finding any resources that may be available to my child as far as college readiness or with the career tech program. The staff and teachers have always seem to have my child best interest at heart also. We love Saks High School and proud to have my son graduate from this school.

Overall experience Saks High School is a good school but i believe that the school doesn't really prepare you for life like other schools. Saks High is really strict on dress codes and phones especially for the females. The boys can wear very short shorts and won't get dress coded. The best thing about Saks High is that the teachers truly care about the students and want what's best.
