We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

At Serena, I and others feel as though students are not academically challenged and do not feel ready for college courses and the rigor they may face after high school. It is a safe school with pleasant staff, but the academics, opportunities for students, and diversity in activities and people is unsatisfactory.

Its a good experience. The teachers are nice and pretty laid back on work being late. The worst part is that I've had bullying issue and they haven't stopped in 4 years. A bigger band program

There was no focus on academics, only sports, which were poor on their own anyway. The music and arts program were grossly overlooked, and there was mediocre public outreach to join the programs, or attend concerts/art shows. The faculty was average, about the best you can get for a school with class sizes around 40-60. There was hardly any preparation for college, with some dual-credit college courses being offered.

Athletics are horrible. season records, players, and coaches arn't good. Coaches don't do a good job of making sure all players treat each other with respect.Quite a few of the athletes are hot heads and are not fun to play with. Athletes go through random drug tests and alot of them smoke and drink...
