i totaly disagree with all of the negiative comments about my school. i am in the 11th grade and we are a very good school. my class alone has made 97 out of the possible 100 on the graduation exams. yes we are very overcrowed to the point where you have to use shortcuts but i does not take away from the education given in the class rooms. as a student i am overwhelmed with the amount of cousre opprutinities at shs. the lack of fundding is a problem but not a huge one. i am glad that i am going to sparkman and i do know that i am getting one of the best educations in alabama as well as in the u.s.
It was a bit of a shock coming to this area of the country. SHS teachers try their best, but spend most of their time dealing with lack of funding and reviewing material to get the kids to pass the Alabama State Graduationa exams. If you play football or are a cheerleader you have it made. Most students will find it difficult to attend college out of state and to compete with the average high school student from other parts of the country for out of state colleges. The band is a big dissapointment for my children. Perhaps the music departments should concentrate on taking their students to competitions that will test their abilities instead of vacations to Florida that result in all participants receiving superior marks for showing up.
The administration and staff work to make Sparkman High School a competitive school academically. Students are being prepared for college.
I rate Sparkman above average, because it (mostly) does the best it can with the situation given it. Of the schools in the Madison County School System, I do belive the best education is gotten at SHS. My main problem is the Sparkman 9th Grade School's realtionship with SHS. S9GS has clubs (ex. Beta Club) that aren't offered at SHS but are offered at most of the other high schools in the state.
