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.

I enjoyed my experience at Sheldon High School. I had caring teachers who supported me and my classmates. However, I would like to see more in-depth material and harder courses offered to stand out more during college admissions along with test prep courses.

Heading into my last year of high school, I would say I have had a great time at Sheldon. Most of the teachers are great teachers and are willing to help students with anything if they were to ask. Throughout the years I have noticed that more clubs and activities have been created since I was a freshman. If I were to change anything, it would be to not have a hybrid schedule and to just stick with block scheduling.

I really enjoyed the drama department. The coaches do a wonderful job and truly care. A vast majority of the teacher enjoy what they do and show it in their teaching.
