The administration at this school is so hyper focused on restricting cell phones that they do not even realize that their policies are causing their attendance problem. Suspending kids from school for using their cell phones. This policy shows how much they actually care about the student's mental health.

As a student in Stafford Senior High School I think the school is bad. The reason I think the school is bad is because the principles there are extremely racist.

Going to Stafford high school is pretty chill and low-key. Some sports teams and coaches are better than others and I don't think they really take a lot of sports seriously. Stafford high school has definitely improved since 2022 my freshman year. It's a lot safer and a lot more productive. We have a lot of vape alarms going off and I think our school has a pretty big drug problem, but it's pretty easy to avoid being in it. there are definitely some pretty cool teachers that are fun to talk to and then there's some that I didn't get along with as well, but they all got the job done. I don't think Stafford high school is particularly worse than any other schools, but I definitely wouldn't say it's better than any others in the district. I'm pretty satisfied with my time there.
