Definitely good teachers but the fact we are a small school sucks wish it was bigger because then they could offer more resources

5.0 Senior

I love my high school. Lots of classes to choose from. Wish I took more years of guitar. Prepared me for college.

3.0 Alum

6/27/2023

Small rural school where student athletes dominate. As a minority going to this school there is no a lot you could find in coming with the majority of the student population. Teachers are alright with no horrendous ones, but students will still complain. There are a few activities/clubs outside of sport and the arts but nothing big. Overall, I would not miss going to this school.
