Honestly i had mixed feelings about high school the teachers were nice & mean some told me I would flunk there class before they even knew who I am knowing about my learning disability my guidance counselor was my favorite part of my high school experience so many teachers supported me and so many made me feel like I'm worthless and stupid when my grade told them other wise I always had to prove people wrong.

The best part is that some of the teachers are amazing. Though not everyone there, some of them are the most caring people I have ever met. The worst part is probably the food. It is just always subpar. There's also just always issues, whether it be the internet, the electricity in half the school or the chromebooks never working properly.

Staff and students for the most part are awesome. Classes are good. Food is carried by pizza and deli. There are some bad apples but the same goes for all schools.

This school picks on the low income families and and causes trouble for them. They fabricate stories to try and rid themselves of these children to try and maintain their state wide scores. Shame on you Seymour high school!

This school has some great teachers where your kids can really learn something! Both of my kids graduated and are now at major universities. The school offers honor and AP classes which challenged them. Sports are big and there is alot of school spirit. The administration does whats best for the kid...
