Overall great school. There is not much encouragement for the student body to participate, and discipline is very much lacking. A few amazing teachers and a handful of sub par teachers. Great athletics, expect the track and xc team does not nearly get the attention it needs.

The school and admin try very hard with the resources they have. Open enrollment has impacted our district as has political/town issues.

This school is surprisingly clean even though it is 15 years old. The teachers are very encouraging, and always around to help and talk to students.This school holds up to its motto, of individualizing education in order to maximize overall success.
