I love the student to teacher ratios are so small. Staff seem to care about students well being and academics.

Going to Bigfork you get a lot of one on one with teachers since it's such a small school where literally everyone knows everyone(there are only 13 kids in my class). However, as great as that all is it's not as good for preparing kids for college. Since the teachers know the students so well they really don't want to see us fail so they help out anyway they can which will not happen in college. I guess you can say that we are slightly babied comepaired to bigger schools and we probably come to rely on this exstra help, I know I do at times, but it's really helped me succeed in school to be able to talk to my teachers when ever.
