It was pretty okay. Most of the teachers were nice. But the school wasn't nice and was very run-down. The choir room is always extremely hot, and the building isn't nice.

Stevens High School has it's pros and cons. The school has teachers that really care about what they're doing, however the administration and school district severly hinder their ability to do their jobs effectively.

For me the best part was having good teachers at steven's the teachers are all good so you will never have to worry about not getting a good teachers. But the bad thing is about football. Our school is so based on basketball, track and wrestling. which sucks because we should have a good football program but the school doesn't put as much money as they do for the other sports. That is one thing that i'd like to see change about the school because we have the athletes we just don't have the money or the field for it.
