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 Science and Math departments are very knowledgeable and helpful. Mr. Nehls, who teaches Chemistry and Physics, is by far the best teacher I have ever had. Mr. Barker, teacher of Algebra 2, Trigonometry and Calculus is very knowledgable and skilled in his field.

Every child I've had go through it has had problems. My sister also had problems with this school. This school needs to close and combine together with other schools.
