I graduated this month from Sycamore High school. Lots of memories and fun times were made! I am going to TCAT Nashville for Dental school and the counselors have helped me so much to get me where I am today!

Sycamore is a decent high school. It has decently prepared me for college and I feel I am better prepared for the world ahead. It has been a rather helpful school that I have very much enjoyed.

I find it to be average by means of meeting educational needs, but I have noticed that there's a lot of things by means of cultural diversity, racial diversity, etc., that isn't really addressed. It would be nice to see all of that being accepted and valued among students and staff.
