[quote=Anonymous]I'm in the SSSAS high school and I came to the school in middle school. I know first hand what it is actually like. The teachers are superb, they are enthusiastic and helpful to individual needs. The school, lead by Mrs. Holden, focuses on its legacies and lacrosse players without a doubt. Kids who play lacrosse (or are african americans--reverse racism anyone?) get away with far more than the other kids. Average students are forgotten and have a hard time because the classes are competitive and difficult, and possibly corrupt. I have benefited a good education by going here, but my grades don't prove that therefore I'm in the bottom 50 precent of my grade leaving me to lower my college standards. The lacrosse boys range from perfect students from wealthy families to kids on scholarship with terrible grades. The high intuition is used to benefit those who Mrs. Holden holds dearly to her heart, the alumni, legacies, lacrosse players, and the few geniuses. This school has toughened me up for the real world though which in a way I am grateful for. I played sports my whole life and was a good athlete till the school's strangely corrupt and almost evil athletic program destroyed my confidence and my love of lacrosse and basketball. I don't even know where to begin about the parents and how much they have hurt me. The parents are the worst part of the school. They social climb and gossip and ruin kids' reputations because false accusations and they usually do so to up there kids' chances in some way. If your child is a legacy or a great athlete or tough enough to handle the complete ridicule starting at whatever age they begin there from 8 years old to 12 the school can be ruthless. Oh and I have many friends who go to Bishop Ireton, NCS, and TC and all of them would agree that SSSAS is the meanest and most corrupt school. If you send your there kid make sure your wallet is packed full and you're ready to kiss Mrs. Holden's and Coach Jenkin's(lax coach for girls) or the boys coaches' asses. all social climbers and rich snobby people who think they are better than others (even though most of them inherited money) are welcome!!! mrs holden will LOVE you! To all of you avg athletes/students or artists and actors or genuinely nice kids I would run as far away from this school as you can. GO TO TC and be in the TOP PRECENT and you have a better chance of getting into a great school than you would at SSSAS. Because by the way big state schools have no idea what our school is and don't care if the reason your in the bottom precent is because how prestigious the academics are.

whew i feel better now. I will go finish my 12 history page paper and 5 page physics and study for my algerbra 2 test![/quote]
