I thought I had a pretty great 4 years, the administration definitely pushes for student involvement and gives lots of different options so it's very likely there's at least one thing a student could be interested in.

I have spent my last 3 and a half years here and have seen so many different things within this school from fights to racist comments to just plain drugs but that's expected in almost every highschool in America so for the amount you might find in a another school I would consider this pretty low

If you have a child that is a minority don’t send them here the school ignores any bullying harassment ECT. To minority’s homophobia, transphobia and racism are big issues I have talked to administration many times they just ignore the problems

Very poor. One of the teachers was snarky and rude in an email after I had questions about one of his policies.

It’s an okay school academically and sports wise. I would recommend going to another district. For some students it works well and for some it is not.

Caring leadership and team members. Concerns are dealt with in a professional and timely manner. Children are able to experience so many positive things at SAHS. There's no other school within the Stillwater area district that comes close to this kind school.
