Sidney High School lacks some funding to the music and art departments. One teacher is very biased twoards the athletic boys of the school. Some assignments are way too stressful for highschool students. Other than that, this school is very good.

The high school building itself is very nice. The office staff are okay, but not very diligent. The counselors are not up to expectations and don't really seem to care at all. The school has alot of criminal activity with no supervision over the school itself. The teachers are not qualified with masters degrees, which affect students college credits.

The teachers were what I liked most about Sidney High School. Every teacher that I had was 100% invested in all their students. I don't think that all high school students are so lucky. But honestly, every teacher really made me feel like they actually cared about me and how my life was going turn out.
