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.

Sheldon has a very welcoming community, with a great teaching staff. Almost all my teachers I've had here have been amazing. The athletics department is also very good, with the sports teams being competitive yet also very welcoming of newcomers.
