Teachers are very hardworking and truly care for there students. due to being a low income town there is a lot of budget cuts and few sports opps. however students are very welcoming and genuinely care for their high school experience

There are some really great teachers at that school but overall the school is a mess and it needs a lot of work. I have not enjoyed my time as a student there.

On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being poor , I give this school a 10...because my son got a great education, went on to a four year university and now has an impressive net worth @ 25yrs. Again Parents just don’t depend on the school/teachers.. work with them and see how great the rewards are....

But it's too expensive. Especially since most students use them for gaming. But because we have laptops, they REMOVED ALL...
