It is a great school in a small town. It is not at all diverse. There are only a few students who are minorities. There are numerous opportunities for students to get college credits while in high school, which is amazing. The teachers are mostly caring. There are not very many classes to choose from though, so there is not much variety unless you do college courses.

Not all the sports at the school get equal funding or support. I feel as if the boys sports are favored more. Cross country and track get almost no recognition and they do the best for representing the school half the time. Cross country had to raise money to buy there own uniforms because the school would not pay for them.

There are some teachers at the school that are great and go above and beyond what is needed. Then there are some that do least amount of work possible. There are also some teachers that just put on movies or notes and except us to learn without them teaching at all.

This school is terrible. It seems like the kids who go to Eisenhower in Decatur and get kicked out and come here. Also alot of small town politics are played in the school especially in sports. The principal and vice principal do a terrible job with upholding the rules for EVERYBODY. Don't waste you...

This school is a waste of tax dollars. Students would do much better if they were homeschooled.
