I came to this school as a freshman during Covid-19. This school has showed me a lot, I've made plenty of friends had my ups and downs with this school. But, I will say I had teachers that cared about my education and helped me pass classes and graduate. The environment needs a little more work but in my opinion the school had a decent amount of security and made me feel somewhat safe. I like this school and I would recommend this to someone who will be going their.

I have had three students attend the Sycamore k-12. It offers a vast variety of opportunities for students with varying interests and needs. The support services are outstanding. And yes, they strive to get the best out of your child.

As a parent of a student I find the school to be a pressure cooker. Easily half my kids friends have been hospitalized for mental health break downs. These kids are under way too much pressure. The ones that survive go to great colleges but it destroys too many young people to get there.
