This School’s Reviews

5.0 Senior

8/16/2024

Through out my 4 years I've had alot of fun at this school. Our football team isn't the best but the marching band brings in the trophies we don't. All the teachers from Mrs. Shelton the band teacher to the people in the office are very helpful and care about your education, its just the drama and attitude of other students in the halls that makes good day not so good anymore. But overall this school is amazing.

As a student that has finished up my senior year and first year of college it has definitely went down hill, more restrictions than ever and it is beginning to seem like a prison than school. Teachers are losing their steam and students are becoming a pain.
