The school is overall great. The strictness and regulations to everything, I will not miss. I would choose this school because I was able to take free online courses. The school awards you with either food, trips or even both when you have succeed at the end of the year.

Lately our school has stepped up it's game as far as security since those gun shooting on the news. The safety policies such as fire or storm cases, I would rather run to my house than stay in that school. Bullying; they don't do much about it, they give some counseling to the victim and then send them on their way. They know the ones that are getting bullied and yet they act clueless.

The school is perfect for our small town. Technology, we are trying to be up to date with it. College courses provided are great, I think that is one of the best things about our school. Parent involvement, parents usually go to the school to complain a lot, or to go defend their child. The buses, I don't ride the bus to school but when we take trips out of town, the buses are reliable.
