GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

So far as a student at Sheldon High School I have enjoyed the experience. I am more of a quiet guy who tends to stay on his lane. I had a fun 3 years playing on Freshman and JV basketball. Academics has also gone well for me and I hope to continue this success in my future learning.

Sheldon High School was an overall alright school, there were fights often, but during the 2023-2024 school year, there was a drastic decrease in fights. I felt generally safe, and the education was good depending on which teacher was assigned, most of the issues came from the student body rather than the school itself.

This is the second child I have sent to this school. The first one even though not the best learner, was given electives over and over again instead of being assigned to make up classes since the classes he needed to retake were over crowded. So basically they put the child in the next step of histo...

The staff is extremely supportive and motivational. From Miss Tweedy's happy spirited personality that never fails to make you smile to Mrs. King's way of getting you back on track if you somehow fall off the wagon so to speak. The counsellors are incredible individuals, motivating and stressing the...
