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.

My overall experience with SBHS has been great over my 3 years here. The teachers are great, the amount of diverse classes we have is amazing, and the choices we have in terms of course selection makes for a schedule of classes that I truly enjoy, making it an overall great learning experience.

my school is widely diverse with a lot of people with lot of different ethnicities, but if we think about are different ethnicities are actually interacting, that is a question mark. people from India, only talk to Indians, people from east Asia only talk to east Asians, this is one thing I hate about my school. one thing I love about my school is that they don't have bullying in my school. Bullying is one thing I hate the most in the world and my school is totally against bullying.

Crazy place SBHS, would never re...
