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 would like to see more attention put on to students who aren't involved in sports and can't find a club of their choice

Sheridan has serious underfunding issues. There's a lack of college readiness and support. The food is small and unhealthy. There's no diversity being super rural. The best thing is the teachers, they really seem to care. The principal and VP are both understanding, helpful and empathetic.

The facilit...
