The school is small but feels so welcoming. The teachers care a lot about their students and go above and beyond to help them succeed. The students are willing, respectful and kind.
3/4/2021
It's ok in the sense that it is school. Some of the teachers suck, some don't. It's really a coin toss.
1/4/2020
The school itself is wholesome. Very small so it's easy to get to know who everyone is and build relationships. The faculty and staff are long time workers of the district so they're very acquainted with everyone around the area. Overall great combination of resource and facility, but does lack on new age technology for future students.

I'm very impressed with the faculty and student support for each other and the community.
5/20/2013
My school is the best school in the world and I love the teachers (most of them). I'm so glad I go to this school. It'd be cool if we had a swim team though.. and a pool, or something like that.
