It's a good school but some of the teacher need to be checked. Some teachers only care about the cheerleaders or the football kids. Some know how to teach the facility's aren't great and could use a makeover. They need more funding for the band and for some of the other clubs because they put all the money towards football and basketball ball. But it's a good school.

I mean academics are good and the teachers are great. But there is so much BS between students. The kids with all the money look down on us with less or those of us who have to work. Having a last name in this county means everything. I was a great lineman in football and got snuffed out because a freshman had a dad on the school board. But if you can get through and avoid people you'll find it great.

This school was small so it was great for those of us who needed one on one learning with the teachers. However, the food was pretty bad most of the time but that is my only complaint.
