The best part about attending Decatur jr sr high school is that people along the way. Since it's a small town everyone is close and you form close bonds with everyone. In my personal opinion the worst part is the opportunity's provided to students. Since it is a small town there are not as many opportunities for the students there as compared to other schools.
