I like how Sterling High School allows students to take concurrent enrollment classes at Northeastern Junior College. However, we had to do the college enrollment process by ourselves. Also, graduation requirements are constantly changing. Staff seems to have given up on students.

I like almost everything about Sterling High School it is a good environment with good teachers. I feel like I don't learn very much or I am not pushed enough sometimes but other than that it is great. I like the option to take classes at the college I plan on taking most classes at the college next year, so that will save a lot of money overtime.

I like the different opportunities Sterling High School has. The teachers at Sterling High School are okay. One major thing I would change would be how long the lunch is. Instead of 40 minutes I would prefer an hour.
