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 Outdated computers and limited access to online resources hinder the integration of modern teaching methods.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.

Once entering the high school years I started to realize that much of the staff didn't care about all the students as much as I thought they did. They buttered up the younger generation while turning their backs on the older. It got to the point where it seemed as though the staff just didn't know how to handle the older generation, and with that they were scared of them. Because of this, the staff and school went downhill. To this day I can almost watch this downward spiral of the school continue, as all of the teachers and staff who cared are slowly transferring different schools and those who don't are sticking around, getting complaints from various students. Sadly, the school does not deserve the reputation it built up over previous years at this moment. I'm hoping that with the couple staff changes that have been taking place the school can pick themselves out of the hole that they initially dug in the first place.
