The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Sentinel high school is a Wonderfull academic school, but it's not so great when talking about diversity. The diversity in the school is really countable, but there are more resources for students and teachers.

Sentinel High School is a very inclusive environment. There are hundreds of clubs and teams to join. I joined the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) club this year. This is a club for kids interested in the healthcare field and looking to pursue a career in medicine. We meet every Tuesday at lunch and learn different healthcare skills. We also volunteer for activities in our community and we just recently made gift bags to hand out to our local healthcare providers. I am also the captain of the Sentinel Dance Team this year. I have been on the team for all 4 years of my high school career. I found a really great community through this activity. I have always had a relatively easy time with my academics. My teachers have always been helpful to me and I've always felt like they want me to succeed. I have had some difficult relationships with a few of my teachers. I was able to move past those challenges and focus on my education.

My son attended Sentinel High School and it was a wonderful experience.
