I love Sequoia all the teachers rock and are so awesome. I love how they treat us young teens they don't treat us like were little .The people treat us like were worth talking to and by the 1 trimester you have a special bond w/the staff. They give you lots of chances to boost up your grade if your not doing so well.They have the best classes they don't leave you behind when your stuck they pick you up dust you off and help you are you way to the next grade.Well there is a lot more I could say that was great about this school but it would take to long and to much space,LOVE APRIL
