I love the teachers at Saydel. The new building remodel of the lunchroom and library make the building feel more open and connected. Being connected in sports or clubs is such an important part of socializing here, but I believe that that's a good thing. I just wish we had more science classes or maybe a different language to study besides Spanish. The community is very close and welcoming.

I really enjoy the small school atmosphere. There is a lot of ways to get involved and every athlete gets a chance at their sport. The educators are always looking out for each students best interest and will go out of their way to make sure one will succeed. The administration is very helpful to students, also looking out for ones success. The school partners with the local community college to allow students to take college classes, which is also phenomenal.

High School is very interesting time every faces and Saydel High School is probably one of the best schools I've attended. The staff and principle of Saydel are very supportive and present with your academic needs. I don't have any negative things to say when they have helped me to raise my GPA significantly.
