Overall, it is an excellent school. Sequoyah High School is lacking in some areas; however, it is approaching where it needs to be.

SQHS is a pretty mid school. It could be better, but it could be worse, too. Some of the teachers and curriculums are incredibly caring and involved, and others are just there for the pension or something. Some of the fellow students are majorly sucky, though. The food is okay; everyone loves the chicken casserole. The campus isn't terrible.

I enjoyed my high school experience. I loved being involved in clubs. I also made lasting memories as a student athlete. I do wish that my classes had been tougher. I do not feel best prepared for college and that worries me.

Horrible. This is the worst school I have ever been to. They do nothing to help their students. Drug abuse and dealing happens, students are not free to express themselves unless they agree with Christian values despite it being a public school. And they do not enforce equal treatment of students by...

I would not recommend a parent send their child to this School. The Students are definitely not prepared for entrance to college. When a Valedictorian of any school has trouble with college classes in Math, there are major problems with the High School they just graduated from!
