My daughter loves it here. She transferred from Memorial High School and is thriving here. She is getting almost all A's and has so many more friends.
The new principal, Chris Juntti, has made an enormous positive difference at Stratford, and I believe has the confidence of the staff which his predecessor definitely did not. There are some elective areas which are in need of improving (foreign languages, journalism come to mind) but overall if you have strong, well-prepared students they are going to do well in the AP program there. I can't comment on the bottom half of the school, whether those students get the attention they need. It seems to me the school is in transition from being an elite, mostly white, high performing school to being a more typical, diverse school with a broader spectrum of academic performance. School spirit and involvement are outstanding. Athletics and drama are fantastic and available to all. Stratford's size (about 2,100 kids) puts it at the very bottom of the 5A classification, which actually gives kids a great chance to participate.
We have had three children graduate from Stratford. The strong school spirit coupled with an outstanding faculty delivers a great four years of education and fun.
Straford while more diveres then it's rivial Memorial, It is still about old money. Some teachers feel they are above it all and bully students who are not of the white or uper class and express sub more liberal ideas as they are mostly white conservitie and shall we say stuck up. The school is full of students who's parents can afford to send them to specialized camps and tuters more then the off the chart teaching abilities. I think good teachers of the past are leaving or gone and the bad ons of the past stay because they will never find better empoyment else where and who knows why we keep bad teachers?
