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 absolutely loved Sequoyah; many of my teachers made a lasting impact and led me to succeed in my college career.

If you're in good classes, then you're going to get pretty much good teachers. If you are rude to teachers and don't try they are going to treat you the same. I really believe what you put into your experience is what you get out.

Overall Sequoyah is a good school. The school is divided into 2 buildings and might need to transfer between periods. One thing we are low on is the school spirit, only very few individuals participate in spirit week.
