Teachers and administration don't care about the students. All the school cares about is sports and updating the school, which it did not need. Lots of bullying in this school. And the administration does nothing about it.

Easy to get involved in a lot. There are some bad teachers that ruin the good experience of high school. The academics are good in certain areas, but do need improvements in areas. The community and environment are a good area to be in.

This school gives you the small town feel, but it does not give room for a lot of opportunities like other schools in our area.
