JW sexton is a really great high school with a lot of opportunities and fun and games and it's super diverse and the students and the staff. Is that
7/7/2021
My three almost four years at Sexton high school have been pleasant. They have their ups and downs, as every school does, but you can tell that the teachers who care about you and your education are truly rooting for you during your time there and even when you leave. Sexton offered the chance to make new friends and gain strong relationships that will last me a lifetime. To anyone thinking of attending Sexton, I'd say go for it. No harm in trying a school I'm going to be telling my kids about one day because of its greatness.

The students are very disrespectful to the teachers and the teachers do not do anything about it.They allow students to curse, twerk etc. Almost all the boys pants come down below there waist and the teachers act like its normal....

J.W. Sexton high-school is one of the WORST schools I have ever went too! The students basically take over the class while the teachers do nothing, kids are always on their phone, and the security guards don't do anything. The teachers don't teach the students anything, the only person that really d...
