The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.

We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I think Sickles is a high school that has a diverse group of people and teacher. I have good memories and bad memories along with each other. Among all of the teacher, there are some that I appreciated help me learning and be with me through the challenges of the class.
