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 really enjoy the Music and Arts program due to that the teachers and school know what they are doing to put out there best performances. And the teachers over at Sequoyah push you to exceed more and more and to never leave you behind in order to graduate.

I transferred to Sequoyah High School after a move to GA, and while it's a nice school with great sports and fine arts culture, there is a lack of school spirit. It sometimes feels like everyone is in competition with all of their peers, teachers, and themselves and no one shows up for sports teams.

Could be safer. Counselors could be more involved in helping with college readiness by making schedules fit to what the students want to be and having conversations with them early on about college/ career goals.

I was a student here and like all students- I had my struggles. But the support I found from teachers and faculty was genuine and beyond what I imagine most high schoolers experience. 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...

We are on our 2nd child attending Sequoyah and will have our 3rd there next year. Overall it's a great place with plenty of teachers willing to work with the students. There are plenty of high quality extra-curricular activities including one of the best Choral programs in the State. One of our chil...
