The teachers at this school, for the most part, are absolutely fantastic. Unfortunately the front desk ladies are the rudest human beings I've ever met, and the other children at the school are just awful, mean hearted kids.

Pond Gap was a wonderful place to work. The administration is very supportive and I couldn't have asked for better co-workers. They strive hard to educate students to not only be successful academically, but also in the community.
