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 teachers are exceptional and really truly care about their students. They strive to not let them be left behind as long as a strong parent advocate is behind them. The thing I'd like to see change is more education and training on recognizing and dealing with bullying.

The staff are not entirely helpful, but not all that bad. Some want you to learn but some just do not teach appropriately.

Very small town feel, everyone knows each other. Sports aren't the best overall, a few good teams/individuals though. Teachers put in lots of effort and are easy to get along with.

We came from a smaller school district when my daughter was in 8th grade. She was accepted immediately and has become a true Fisher Bunnie!!
