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.

Sheldon I would say is a pretty average school, you learn what you need and get to be close with teachers. They give an extra period in the day just for kids to get help from teachers or work on things they need to complete.

Sheldon is really a good school. They expect a lot out of each and every student. There is also a wide variety of activities for people to get involved in. Most of the people are kind and respectful. However that lowers if you aren't "popular", "cool", or "athletic".
