    SHS Huskies Class of 2004…read more Since the other alumni reviews shouted out to the music, choir, art and animation teachers, I will also chime in. My main program, which I still actively support today as a mentor and guest speaker, was the Biotech Academy. This was one of the pathways you could choose (others were focused on visual and performing arts, engineering and building trades, or social sciences), which had specialized classes you took over the 4 years. Now they've even added one more focused on agriculture (FFA). In BTA I was able to be exposed to hands-on microbiology, molecular biology (pipetting, running gels), and learn about ethics and technology in biotech careers on top of the regularly required biology, chemistry, physics and math. They also had field trips, community service, senior capstone project, internship opportunities, Blood Drive, and the Science Olympiad competitive team. Being in this academy really gave me an edge when I went on to UC Davis and inspired me to continue to pursue STEM professionally. I recently got to see their 2022 Open House showcasing seniors' projects (my 2021 mentee's was on CRISPR/Cas9) and demos such as streaking petri plates, chromatography, fluorescent proteins, extracting DNA from strawberries, and 3-D printing. Shout out to Mrs. Kosney, Ms. Laurison, Mr. Cecil, Mrs. Ziegenhirt, Mr. Fendall and Mrs. O'Bear. The science department also has other electives such as Physiology, Ecology, Criminalistics, Programming, and Lab Tech. I will also echo that Ms. George was the most amazing art teacher who I had for Art 1 and Commercial Art Graphics (didn't get to take AP Art Studio but she taught that too). That's where I got to learn how to airbrush acrylics, mixed media (pencil, ink, pastel, charcoal, acrylic) and opportunities to enter pieces in the State Fair or local/regional contests (Native Daughters of the Golden West, Duck Stamp). Shinozaki-sensei was also the sweetest Japanese teacher (now retired). At that time we didn't have honors or AP Japanese but it was so neat to even have it offered as a foreign language option alongside Spanish, French, German and ASL. I participated in the summer exchange program with students from Osaka, Japan where we were a host family and matched with one student every other summer. In the alternating summers, Sheldon and Laguna Creek students would be hosted by Osaka families. We also had an exchange student from Sapporo all year. It was the newest high school in the area at the time, before Pleasant Grove, Monterey Trails, Cosumnes Oaks and Franklin all popped up. For a public school in the suburbs, I would say I had a pretty well-rounded experience. Other: - "Every Day is a Great Day to be a Husky" - Flight of the Bumblebees playing during passing period before bells rang - Mazz's Alma mater/fight song "...cheer at the might of the teal, black & white" - Arts Alive (VAPA) -DeMarcus Nelson (basketball) before he went on to Duke - Japan Club taiko drummers at Multicultural Assembly - American Idol Season 2 Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken visited - commencement at Arco Arena

    I did not have a good experience at this school. I was absent for a good portion of the two years I…read morewas there (for freshman and sophomore) due to chronic pain and illness. They were not handicap accessible enough as I have chronic pain and asthma and could not get to classes quick enough without having an asthma attack. I had to get an IEP/504 plan and that didn't even help most of the time. I also have AuDHD and I don't learn at the pace of other students and the teachers weren't as accommodating as they should've been in that area. I got detention once because I couldn't get to my class fast enough in my wheelchair and I ended up having a panic attack because they were yelling at us, we couldn't have beanies or hoodies on, we couldn't have any electronics out, and we had to be working on something. I wouldn't have a problem with it if they weren't screaming at us. I also couldn't get a lot of my school work done if I was stuck at home due to chronic pain flare ups or being sick. I feel like they could've been more accommodating with having work online in case something happened and a student couldn't get to school. I have since transferred to Visions In Education. It's an online learning program and I strongly recommend it if you have problems getting around campus normally or have learning differences.

    Ya'll I won't even lie to you, I hated it so much. I hate Smedberg with a burning passion. Such a…read morepassion that only someone who has gone through multiple traumatic experiences such as Bullying, Homophobia almost every day, Lying, Threats on my life, and so much more. I wouldn't recommend any child who is unique and different in their way to be sent to this school because without a DOUBT they will have extreme problems. The principals and staff members fail miserably to do their jobs correctly unless a physical altercation has occurred or a threat has to be taken seriously by law. Most of the teachers are awesome and deserve so much better and we all know who they are. The kids were the main problem, not being able to be yourself and people slandering your FAMILY in group chats, Throwing dirt on your name, Making the majority of kids not like you caused by their lying, and overall massive groups of people that are insecure within themselves deflecting on kids who don't know how to defend themselves, . The amount of Racial Clowning, Insecurity, and Lack of control of students is insane and disappointing. Many parents and children have problems with Smedberg but no one cannot get a clear solution because they only tell you bullto make you go away. The bathroom, Sucks, The Energy Sucks, and the office staff SUCK. Just don't send your kids there, it will save you your time and grief.

    It seems like two out of three negative reviews are from the same person. It is a third person…read moreaccount not first person. With so few complaints, this must be a great school. Otherwise, you will hundreds of negative reviews with details.

    They need to improve everything this school sucks ass especially when needing to drop off…read moremedication my sister just needed her inhaler bcs she said her breathing was getting slow and she was lightheaded. And I go up to the office a black lady came and helped me and all I said was she needs her inhaler bcs she says she can't breath I need a fucking form to be filled out for her to take it or bring it to school!? then I tell her well can she just take it in order to feel better and I'll take it home and goes no she has to be out of school to take it so I have to give her an early dismissal? this school is a fucking joke she could've gotten worse and yet they wouldn't care until a stupid white sheet of paper is filled out don't come to this school if you want to sign your children up. Especially if sick. Not only that they can't even hire cops or anything in this school to keep it safe anyways you know how many kids get into fights now a days!? And yet it's a suspension can't even expel kids anymore. My sister gets home and tells me how bad the fights are here and yet they don't care school is ass do not come here to sign any of your children up at this point a charter school is way better than this shit. Also tell your kids to always carry they inhaler if they have asthma and struggling in breathing like my sister because if you don't you have to go through a huge process just for her to carry an inhaler kids could die and they still don't care so fuck this school for real.
