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.

Incredible arts program, lacks spaces for the arts program though. Teachers are great, bathrooms/some classrooms not so much.

Sequoyah has given me life long friendships that I can always rely on. I also was given studying skills I can take into college. Through high school I learned time management and how to organize my work to get it all done. However, Sequoyah could have prepared me for college more when filling out applications. I wish they would dedicate more time to helping students with college and scholarship applications.

Sequoyah High School has been an amazing part of my journey. It's not just a school; it's a place where I've grown, learned, and made lifelong friends. The teachers at Sequoyah are awesome, always going the extra mile to help us succeed. The sense of community here is something special, and I'm thankful for the experiences and opportunities it's given me. Receiving this scholarship would mean a lot to me, and I can't wait to keep learning and growing with Sequoyah as a part of my story.

They are more worried about whose house they will be at drinking or smoking the upco...

With my child slated to attend SHS in a few years, I couldn’t feel more at peace with her most formative years in th...
