I beleive that the Sutherland Public School system is a very sound school for students. Our acedemics here are great and as with a smaller public school the criculem is a more chalenging. We also offer a wide variety of extracarricular activites including Speech, football, Golf, ext. The facilites here are stupendous. We just had a new addition added onto our elementary school and got the high school wired for wireless internet for the students' and staffs' new laptops.
As for the parental involvement it is great as well. The most noticable thing about parental involement here is the booster club which helps out the whole school!
Over all this is a great school.
