I have enjoyed being a student at Sanderson. I feel like the school offers rigorous academic content and teachers are vested in students' success. The student population is diverse and I have had the opportunity to meet many people and make many friends for life.

I have had a good time at Sanderson. The best part has been being part of the marching band, and the worst part was last year when we had 7 fire alarms in one day because of a dysfunctional smoke detector. I don't think there needs to be much change, except for the flow into and out of the student parking lot.

This school is a JOKE. I honestly don't know how they are still open. The administration is rude and nasty and will scream at you if you're 10 seconds late to class. I wonder how they hire these teachers because in my 3 years here I've only had ONE good teacher. This English teachers are absolutely terrible and don't even get me started on the math teachers.. they literally announced my grade on the test to the class and they know I struggle with math. These teachers have always failed to accommodate me and help me learn better. I honestly don't even feel safe coming here, it's scary. DONT. COME. HERE.

Looking back, Sanderson was the perfect high school for my kid. The size kept things manageable without them being lost in a sea of faces. Teachers reached out at critical times.,My kid was not a genius nor high enough to be a junior Marshall BUT the preparation in the honors and AP courses prepared...
