We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I loved the "family" feeling and the way everyone looked out for each other. The facilities are getting better but need more improvement.

I believe that the academic perspective could be a little better but overall a good school. I participated in 3 sports while in high school which I enjoyed; the support for sports was very high.

I liked the environment and how any teacher would help you with anything you needed. I wish more people would be involved into activities.

The attendance at this school is awesome (56 in perfect attendance for 2010-2011 school year)! They must be doing something right!

Parents are discouraged from participating in school functions unless they are in the 'elite' parent groups. Phone calls to administration take sometimes weeks to get returned. Athletics take priority over academics.
