It's a high school in WV, one of the lowest states in education. The school is fine, better than the other options around.

I enjoyed my experience at this school. It prepared me for college. They have my opportunities to expand my horizon, while being a high schooler. I feel as though they helped me become the person I am today.

A National Blue Ribbon School. That tells it all. I am an alumni of this school as are my children and grandchildren. It was a great school in the 50's and continues to be great today.

Used to be a great school, but has lost touch with a large part of the population. Students are not prepared for college coursework and only the athletic teams mean anything to the principal. He is concerned about an image not our kids.
