I would not compare with other schools in the area. There are many differences as to quality of the staff and of the students' ethnic and economic background. My second child is at so. City high, one already graduated and the third one soon to come. I have no significant complaints about he school. Students get a great overall education. They are prepared to face real life after graduation, thanks to the diversity of the school population and how they are taught to accept others regardless of their differences. Unfortunately the school has received too many students from other districts, and that makes the classes sometimes to large. However, this means that some parents from other districts have also found out how great this school is.

Compared to El Camino, which is the other school in the South City district, this school is not a good school. The teachers are either really good or really bad. The school is too overpopulated. The students there are also loud and rude. Compared to my old school, it's not that clean. And the classrooms are too small. They do offer a lot of courses and the staff's nice but aside from that, the environment and the quality of some teachers isn't that great

SSFHS is a very diverse school, this prepare students for the real world. Lots of xtra curr activities-many great teachers-principal very involved with students, their academic performance & xtra curr activities. Very safe environment--parents need to get more involved.

Academics leave much to be desired in the math and sciences. Sports are great motivators the football coach requires academic achievements requiring mandatory study hall. I am not aware any other sports require the same.

This school was fun but they need better science and math teachers. But they are strong in elective classes like Electronics which is taught by the best instructor on earth Mr. P

I feel that this school provided me the necessary skill to go on and continue being successful in College. Though, I must say that you can go astray if you decide to be with the wrong crowd. The school is VERY diverse.
