This is a horrible school absolutely no do recommend this school. This is school is so academically behind that I am surprise that it is still open.The staff acts like they are here for you but in reality they aren't and only care about keeping there job. The teachers just ride by and don't truly teach.i would be embarrassed to graduate from this school.Also the bathrooms are so gross and need some desperate redesigns.On numerous days the air conditioning broke leaving students and staff burning up to a point that they dismissed school early. The Adam will force numbers opon the school to make it appear better but truly the school is disgusting.

It needs more work done from having more teachers and having better resources for kids and stop being late on everything.

I have attended Sheffield since the ninth grade. I've been a majorette for them as well. We the knights are family. I have learned a lot of things that has prepared my for my journey into the real world. For That I am thankful. The only thing I would like to see done differently is to offer more creative activity to engage the student's more. Activities such as maybe a theater for those aspiring actors or actresses. School news paper for the writers or journalists. A radio station for those interested in broadcast. More options will keep curious minds interested.

Las directoras actuales son racistas, abusivas y prepotentes tanto con el personal hispano como con los estudiantes hispanos. Hay maestros que apagan las luces del salón y ponen a dormir a los estudiantes para no dar clases. No están preparados para recibir personas de otras culturas ni razas

My school is much better than what many people perceive it to be. I love my school and I wish others could look past the bad history behind our school's name and see the bright future/ potential it has
