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.

I feel as Madison county high school is the best place for education but not for communication.

Madison County was great. I personally loved my time there but I can certainly say that there were some weak spots such as the school funding and outdated facilities. The teachers were wonderful, they cared about you and spent time investing in you, not just teaching because they had to. Although money was the root problem of the school, they did the best they could with what they were given.

This is a great school in a great small, but growing community. The teachers are usually easy to communicate with, the school staff members are very helpful when I've needed them, and both seem to truly care about the overall success of the students.

Why is it when people of color fail it is someone else's fault? We have had no issues and our children really enjoy the atmosphere.
