GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 transferred to Seaholm my junior year, so I didn't get the full four-year experience there. Although I didn't have that experience, the learning environment, faculty, and staff really cared for us

Seaholm has provided great environment and facilities for students. It has a great hardworking staff and teachers, and provide some of the best education in the state. Having said that, there are certain things that they may need to improve on. These include watching out for safety hazards and conflicts that occur in classrooms or bathrooms in the building.

The best part of my experience was witnessing the lively conversations and laughter among the guests—it showed how enjoyable the event could be. The worst part was feeling ignored when I arrived late, as the group seemed to have already formed connections, leaving little room for me to join in. I'd like to see more efforts to include everyone, regardless of when they arrive, and I'd also work on being on time to avoid such situations in the future.

The required math and science classes are rough, but you shouldn't let these classes define yo...

Pro's Safe school Con's Trimester schedule with 70 minute classes is not as good as semesters. Staff is not professional or friendly toward students or parents.
