I love that my school is located in a small town; however, that being said there are some challenges that are prevelant. I wish our school had more opportunities for dual credit classes and harder college prep options. Overall, I enjoy the students and teachers are very kind people.

I think that Edwards County is an alright school for a small town. The academics are fairly decent and it's a small school so everyone knows each other. The school is not very diverse as one a handful of none Caucasian students attend. Our sports are pretty bad but overall it is a decent school.
