I went to a public high school in the area, it wasn''t a bad school, it just didn''t have the ability to fully help students as the class sizes were so large. at Sequoia the class sizes are very small and the teachers are able to fully help the students. It''s really an amazing school.

This is a wonderful school! The staff works with the kids and involves every student. They help you learn whats going on. I went to a public school and i hated it. The teachers didn't really care and there were way to many kids for the teachers to get around to, at Sequoia its different. Theres only max 15 kids per class. The staff is wonderful. I would advise to go here
