Overall I think Sycamore High School is a pretty decent high school. Most of the teachers are nice and helpful, and are great at teaching. The club activity here is pretty great. If you are interested in Music Sycamore High School is one of the best in the State. I don't have much to say about change but some more language classes would be nice. (we only have Spanish as of 2023)

The people are pretty nice and the school has a pretty good environment to learn in. The teachers are nice and they try their best to help their students.

The school only cares about the students who are academically inclined. The school building it’s self is gross and dirty. The building...

Fantastic experience. The people I interact with including teachers and peers are stong character-wise and are intelligent. Not all students fit this category of course, but this does not appear to a product of the school's administration. Don't listen to that foolish parental review. Perhaps I am h...
