(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - We need more field trips because all of the students need a break for working so hard. we really deserve it. Then we should have better lunches because I found a spider in my vegetables. The beans in my burrito were all burnt and crusty. in every class there's a lot of homework and it's too hard. my mom can't even help me.

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Sanford is a wonderful school with an exceptional staff and leadership. There is much to offer including Pre-engineering, arabic, art, drama and sound offerings in the core subjects. There are also some wonderful field trip opportunities including a trip to Europe in 8th grade. Accommodations are made to cover a before and after school needs at no cost to the family. I strongly recommend it.
