| 1/6/2012 | parent | My student entered this school from another school district, excelling and earning scholarship awards. With a good chance of fulfilling their dream of going to medical school to be a surgeon. My student found in their new school SHS that not all the classes, including Math and foreign language, had books for their students. The teachers here are not paid for any over time or coaching so the students suffer as teachers are forced to look elsewhere to supplement their pitiful income. My student doesn't want to leave friends for another school, but now my student who had ivy league paths now has to concede to a lower level state school. It is only the work from the previous school that my student even has the option of college. The school has tried to convince my student that a nursing assistant certificate is as good or better then getting a surgeon's education. Even the beauty that a reviewer stated is gone. The forest was ploughed down and a cement yard was put in it's place. For as someone recently at the school said 'SHS students aren't very smart, they might trip on tree roots'. I doubt the majority of students here had so little potential until they were taught so. |
| 8/4/2011 | other | I'm a community member and a teacher (not at the HS level.) It's my impression that this high school does a fairly good job. Yes, it's a small town and there are classic issues one deals with - rivalries, politics, etc., but SHS is essentially a good school. Before I secured a permanent position I subbed here. I found reasonable lesson plans, engaging, mostly polite kids, and helpful colleagues. Make a visit before believing trollish reviews, please. Thank you - |
| 8/31/2010 | parent | the principal is not a good leader. she is hard nosed and believes everything that she says is right. even when proven wrong she will not accept it and admit that she was wrong. strong leaders will admit that they are wrong when necessary, that is why she is not a strong leader. the school has odd dicipline methods. you can be expelled for having your cell phone in class, yet if you get in fights you just get suspended. and fights are very common. you cant even go inbetween classes without walking around a fight. teachers most of the time never see any of them. people leave campus all of teh time to smoke and they never get caught. the academica are horrible. they have a ton of remedial courses and only one or two higher (college or AP)classes. they dont offer anything else to the higher acheiving student. |
| 3/3/2010 | student | I hate the shelton high school. I am so depressed when i step onto the campus. Whenever i get to school it is like a new environment. I am always afraid for my safety. |
| 10/1/2009 | parent | The school is an average high school;some good teachers and programs. Kids ca make the most of school. The middle and high schools have poor communication,coperation. |
| 11/25/2008 | student | I just graduated Shelton High School with the class of 08'. SHS is a pretty good school to grow up going to, but it has its advantages and disadvantages. There are some amazing teachers and some terrible ones. If you can, try to get either mr prante or mr faire for math, they are both tough but excellent. For english mr baugh is a must. |
| 11/17/2008 | student | I went to four different high schools and Shelton was my favorite. People are friendly. To this day I keep in touch with everyone I know. The teachers are great and I had the best math teacher when I went there. Shelton is a very good school. |
| 12/12/2007 | student | Shelton has excellent programs and teachers. There are many students that leave very successful out of this school. The math teachers at the higher levels are exceptional |
| 4/17/2006 | parent | Shelton High School has an excellent staff and is a beautiful outdoor campus. The buildings are set amongst woods and grassy areas, and are set in a cirucular pattern around the Library. The students are friendly and the violence is low. |
