    "The July 1, 2011 review seems to have been written by someone with more emotion than limited insight, which is unfortunate (Ivy League schools do not give athletic scholarships for example), and I know literally dozens of SHS students who have gotten into top colleges on their merits. SHS is considered among the top public schools in the nation (the WSJ had it about fifth among public schools three years ago), and most colleges considered SHS graduates very favorably. The environment is challenging for the top students, but less so for those who choose to express themselves in other ways. In my experience (a collective eight going on nine years), pressure is much more a function of the family environment than of the actual academic setting, so if criticism is due it seems to be better targeted at the community as a whole. There are top teachers there who challenge the kids - and those who want to rise to the occasion must push themselves. This seems a good thing."

    "Don't send your kids here...really bad place. the ivy league schools only take kids from scarsdale if their parents know someone or they win a sports scholarship. the athletes of this town are famous for breaking serious rules of conduct and never being held to account. this is so because the administrators know these kids are the only real hope for keeping their acceptance rates to top schools up...like the opposite of the nike commercial "just don't do it." look for a program where kids learn something other than how to be stressed and regurgitate info..."

    "While this school may look beautiful from the outside, the actual substance leaves much to be desired. The classes are very large, advising suffers from too many children per advisor, and everything is overly competitive. I found it to be a toxic environment to learn and grow in. I'm glad that I was able to get out of this system."

    "Excellent choices of courses and extracurrriculars, but REALLY high pressure. Some alumni have seen college (GOOD colleges) as easy by comparison. NOTE: previous reviewer praised AP courses, so I will update that by pointing out that they have now removed all AP classes to be replaced with 'AT' (Advanced Topics) which do not teach to the AP tests, meaning that the class may be more fun but will lower students' grades on AP exams."

    "as a student, i have personally experienced the school inside and out. it is a top school with many courses, great teachers, great resources, great everything! school's involvement of the community and outside (civ-ed, tri-m music honor society, and many, many clubs) many sports and aps offered."
