GreatSchools Rating
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. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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 personally didn't love my time at sycamore. It was overwhelming and cliquey. I always felt targeted by teachers, staff, and peers. I never felt like I had anyone to confide it and it felt unsafe.

I have had three students attend the Sycamore k-12. It offers a vast variety of opportunities for students with varying interests and needs. The support services are outstanding. And yes, they strive to get the best out of your child.

As a parent of a student I find the school to be a pressure cooker. Easily half my kids friends have been hospitalized for mental health break downs. These kids are under way too much pressure. The ones that survive go to great colleges but it destroys too many young people to get there.
