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.

School over all is good. Bullying is a problem and discipline for the bullying is often overlooked. I've experienced it a lot. So this would be a great change...in this small town you are looked at by your name and that's just not fair when it comes to who is right or wrong and who gets discipline. Also the bathroom situation is not great...it would be great if there were single bathrooms for the LGBTQ+ kids so they would feel comfortable going to the bathrooms at schools which would probably help with bullying these kids. Over all tho we have great teachers and a few that understand these problems and try to help these kids to the best of their abilities.
