Rating 3.62 out of 5 431 reviews
The school is highly regarded for its academic programs and dedicated faculty. Many students have praised the school's challenging curriculum and supportive learning environment. On the other hand, some have mentioned that the workload can be overwhelming at times. As for changes, some have suggested a more diverse student body and more resources for mental health and wellness.
I have been at this school since 7th grade. My experience from transitioning from middle school to high school and staying at the same school was amazing. You are able to make friends in middle school and bond with them until the end of high school. This is something that this school provides. Academically there are some ups and downs, but it all starts with how we deal with it and I was able to do it at this school. The teachers I had were very supportive and cared about how we acted and kept me accountable. As a student athlete my experience for basketball was better than I expected even through the ups and downs I had with not being able to manage my time and slacking my sophomore years. At the end I was able to use the curriculum we have at this school to bounce back.
The SOCES is a mixed bag of positives and negatives. On the upside, the school boasts a dedicated faculty, with passionate teachers who go the extra mile to ensure student success. The small class sizes foster a more personalized learning experience, allowing for meaningful teacher-student interactions. The campus is well-maintained, providing a conducive environment for learning and extracurricular activities.
However, on the downside, the school falls short in terms of technological infrastructure. Outdated computers and limited access to online resources hinder the integration of modern teaching methods. Additionally, the extracurricular offerings are somewhat limited, leaving students with fewer opportunities to explore diverse interests outside the classroom.
Despite these drawbacks, the school's commitment to fostering a sense of community is commendable. Regular events and parent-teacher interactions contribute to a supportive and inclusive atmosphere.
