I've been at Shadow Mountain for 4 years now and all I can say it good things about it. The students and teachers are amazing and the academics are too. There are so many clubs are this school I cant even count them all but my personal favorites are chess club and robotics club. The school food isn't the best but honestly what school food taste good.

Good school. Very much an arts school and there is a broad spectrum of people that attend as they have one of the biggest/best special education programs, but there are also lots of kids who don't care about school unless they are in honors or AP classes.

I moved to Shadow Mountain my sophomore year of highschool, I previously went to Sunnyslope and I noticed a lot of differences when moving. I felt as the eduation was better here and the enviroment was not as toxic at Shadow Mountain.
