Stevens shows appreciation towards teachers, faculty, and students who have perfect attendance. And it has CAST a department for students who want to be a teacher, coach. Stevens has lots of clubs you could participate in, and if you ever need help teachers stay after school or come early in the morning to come and help wether it is for a test or a assignment you didn't quiet understand.

The best part about being at Stevens is that we have all the resources we could need and we have good sports equipment. The worst experience I've had at Stevens is that I'm missing both a Spanish teacher and a culinary teacher. There haven't been any actual teachers in those classes besides substitutes. I would like to have a teacher in those classes because I'm only able to do worksheets instead of any labs or hands-on activities.

On thing I would like to see change is being able to bring food from off campus.Recently they implemented a rule on this matter and it has just become a hindrance rather than help.I completely understand they are doing for safety of the campus but I feel we could come up with a compromise.Although apart from that this school has a fun atmosphere and every week there is some kind of event with the school is always in school spirit.

I have no bad complaints about this school. My son is a sophomore this year and is very involved in the marching band and does well! The Stevens Falcons marching band is one of the best & always makes the top 10 at competitions. The teachers are very good about communicating by email if there is any...
