The best part of my experience is the teachers and class dynamics. Every teacher at this school is amazing and genuinely cares about their students and seeing them succeed. The worst part of my experience is the administration, who don't seem to care much about the students and their experience in the school. However, the teachers make up for that.

It is more diverse than expected and we often have celebrations for events like Mexican Heritage month or Black History month. I haven't joined any clubs throughout my high school years because there aren't many clubs that are to my liking but there are still a few. The worst experience is having a long day and during our lunch breaks, we don't have great foods to approve our appetite. The best experience is that we have a pretty good school spirit so no one would judge who and what you wear.

So the best part of senn was getting a due over from middle school being able to create a community in soccer and cross country. Being able to get to know myself in the school with what I liked and didn't. The worst part was probably not knowing that the program Schuler you could of just applied but I thought they requested for you and feeling like I don't really have major support with what to do for college and being the 1st one in my family to go is stressful.

This school is horrible. My son left Lane Tech to go here and what a complete opposite experience. There are fights and yesterday his classmate got beat up or stabbed. He saw blood and the teachers could give a dam as most don't even reply to emails or care if they fail your kid. It's mostly up to a...

My experience at this school has been very mixed and honestly not what I hoped for. Academically, some teachers genuinely try their best, but there is a lot of inconsistency. Communication can be unclear, expectations shift without warning, and it’s easy to fall behind even when you’re putting in ef...

The school isn't terrible but they struggle with holding teachers and students accountable.
9/19/2023
Absolutely atrocious learning environment. Guaranteed to find students smoking in the bathrooms. Teachers and staff are completely disrespectful, rude, and simply do not care about the health and well-being of the students. Only focused on academics. Students have reported a strong desire to transfe...
