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 was a student at Cherry Secondary School for my Pre-K through 12th grade years. It was a good experience for the most part. The teachers made the difference but the school overall academically was not to the standards I would prefer.

I like how it is a small school and how everyone knows everyone. Teachers can really get to know their students. There is quite a bit of bullying and sometimes teachers won't do anything about it or they're unfair about it.
