I think there needs to be change in education standards. The community is great though. Everyone supports each other. The education needs improvement to better support the students and students need to be the priority for all teachers and faculty in all the school.

The teachers at Sandwich Community High School are teachers that I will remember for a lifetime. However, I feel like it is only the teachers that also teach honors or AP level classes that are viable for this memorable experience. I hope that the other teachers at this school rise and make themselves known to the rest of the students.

If you are looking for diversity here, you are looking at the wrong place. This school has no diversity.

They will pay a student to tattle tale, whether it be true or not......guess all those years of teaching them NOT to was useless. Save your $ on this free public sch...
