I love the teachers and the environment. The only problem is there is not much diversity in the school.

My son was very happy when we transferred in from another school after he had been bullied. The friendly atmosphere and caring staff helped him open up and make friends quickly. He will be graduating this year!!

Disappointing education that did not prepare me for college. 90% of teachers only seem to be there for the paycheck and hate being challenged. Academics take a back seat to athletics. Close-minded school district.

My aunts and uncles went here. My mom. My brother and I. I read these reviews now, about athletics taking precedent, the good 'ol boy network, and then I read mlive about the retire-rehire scandals, the money that went missing after the last passed millage... and I want to cry. It has been 40 years...
