worst school ever they have horrible food, and staff. They also give you a ton of work, and no time to do it, at this school it's not what you know it's who you know they pick favorites more than any other school.

I have never felt unsafe at this school. It is located in a small town and also our administration has even put up safety per-cautions in case anything ever does happen all students will be safe. We have practices for tornado drills, fire drills, and lock-down drills.

The teachers are very easy to talk to, but some could work on their teaching practices. Sometimes they help some students more than others, or in other words they have favorites, whom get treated better.

It's been a great school for my kids. The educational quality is better than most larger schools and the teachers seem to really care. The teachers have dealt with a lot of stress and disappointment there over the years, but they have always kept their focus on the students.
