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.

The guidance counselor and office staff are very helpful for the small amount hired for the entire school. They try to be there as much as possible when you need them. The dress code is mainly great with the shorts length policy and straps policy, but I think having to have sleeves when there is no air conditioning is a little extreme. We should at least be able to wear sleeveless shirts that are an inch wide when the weather is so hot. Overall, the policies are very beneficial for the standard of our school.

Our school does what it can for the small amount of resources it can muster. There is a lot of parent involvement, including a lot of alumni parents supporting on the school board. The condition of the building is poor due to the age of the building. The technology is very good because of our technology lady that received many grants for fast internet and new wiring. The busing is very efficient for all of the country kids around the small towns.

The teachers all try to keep an on going relationship with their students. Most of them try their best to make the teaching interesting and understandable for us. There are a good mix of the older with brand new teachers,so that they can learn from each other. It is a little difficult to get teachers straight from college, usually it is only one or two, so they learn from the other teachers quickly.
