The good parts of this high school is that it's small compared to the others around me so there can be a lot of 1:1 help if needed. Also, the atmosphere is nice, I have yet to see anybody get bullied. The bad is it's expensive to do any sport or arts program, they charge for everything.

It is a nice community being so far out but to be completely honest, the staff is under qualified as we have switches all the time and tons of reoccurring substitutes. I would say myself three stars is a proper rating simply because of the familiar faces and nice community.

Personally, my time spent here has been okay. We struggle to make our school a place where students want to be, and I'm not sure how incoming classes are going to survive here.
