Omg I have been in sycamore schools my whole life and I have had the best experiences. The education is spectaculor and they have amazing opportunities such as Ap classes and trips to europe. The sports are amazing and if you don't want to play for school you can join a club team or make your own. Facilities are just the same as always. Parent invovlement is a plus because you get to do more things like after prom this year was amazing. PTA runs the activities at our school. I recommend checking this school out.
