The best part about Syracuse academy of Science is their college preparation. SAS partners with the local community college OCC, and gives their students the opportunity to take dual enrollment courses in junior year. I would say the downside of SAS is there is little focus on extracurriculars other than robotics, especially for girls. Though SAS has recently been expanding their range of sports, even adding in both flag football for girls and golfing.

Honestly, it's an okay school. It focuses alot on college and grades and has barely any clubs or activities. It's either you like it or you dont

I pulled my children out and had to waste hundreds of dollars on uniforms. They did not know how to teach my children that needed more help.
