School doesnt listen to students, very diverse but one culture is prominent, academics are very strong
1/2/2025
Generally, my experience at Shepard has been positive. My teachers have been supportive and kind all four years. The student body is diverse, and I have accumulated a great deal of friends from Shepard. The clubs and activities are solid and there are a lot of options to be involved. I would like to see more strict security and enforcement on bathroom policies. Vaping and use of other drugs can be a problem.

It's overall an average school, the academics are fine, the faculty is middle of the road and there is a good amount of activities to choose from. Nothing too good or bad about it.

The hallways are extremely crowded, and students just tend to stand there, instead of going to class or let other people through...

I graduated from this school in 2007. I easily breezed by on sub par work. I managed to be in the top 10% of my class with minimal effort. Many teachers assigned "busy work" to avoid actualy having to teach, although many of the specifc teachers I am referring to have since retired. Even still, the...
