"yea im a student and the truth of it is there are cliques and all that like is expected. if someone new started there theyd better try n find their own group of friends to stick with because there is bullying no matter what people say its their because i witness it everyday. but itll toughen people up for the real world. also kids dont have to worry about gettin into a fight unless they bring it upon themselves. also sherando is the school with the biggest pride out there. i wouldnt dream of goin anywhere else. by the way lunch isnt the greatest unless you like pizza 3x a week"

"Sherando is a very diverse school. Their ARE cliques, just like every single high school. Teachers expect you to turn things in on time, and they discourage slacking. Teachers are very nice, and try to help the students as much as possible. When it comes to physical fighting, its pretty frequent. It happens...around..once a month. Everyone is really friendly, and im sure if you were new and walked into the school, you would find everyone very nice. The adminstration is good. When it comes to Atheltic department, it's pretty good. The lunch food is pretty good. I would suggest Sherando High School than Millbrooke or James Wood High."

"I recently graduated from Sherando and I would of never chosen a different school to go to! The teachers were outstanding and were always willing to help out when asked for it. There are plenty of clubs for students to participate in, like FBLA, FFA, DECA, Key Club, and many more. I loved going there for my four years and I sometimes wish I could to back!"

"The parents are absolutely the best! So supportive and always willing to jump in and help with all Warrior Club functions - it's a pleasure to be a part of the 'family' at Sherando High School. Great job to all parents and fans!"

"Football games at Sherando are irreplaceable!! They are almost like attending live Redskins games. No problems with teachers! All Teachers reply back in a timely manner. Front office staff leaves a little to the imagination. They seem to not know answers to questions and have completely ignored me each time I have gone in. I stand there, no ones asks if they can help you or what information you need. I have been in the office several times and not once did they acknowledge that I was standing there. The children seem to be well mannered in general and sort of old school (which in this day and time is a good thing). Yes, diversity is somewhat an issue but students thus far seem accepting of others."
