(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I attended Sidney High School years 1998-2000 and I felt that the majority of the staff were there for the paycheck, not the students. The (...) was always rude, very cruel to kids unless you were student council. The computer teacher, I can't recall her name, was incredible however. She was very nice, and always took time to personally address each student. I wouldn't recommend this school to any parent. I plan on moving my children away from Sidney City Schools before they hit high school age.

(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Every school has its faults. However, when i attended, they had a tendancy to lokk the other way when violence occurred. Especially towards females. A few teachers were great. Some only there because of the job; not the students.
