Been in the district my whole life, had its ups and downs but I'd much rather be there than one of the surround districts. The teachers are truly very supportive except for the math teachers. Guidance counselors are also amazing and do wonderful jobs helping with college stuff and whatever it is you need. The music and art rooms are the best I spend most of my time in the music wings and most students are fairly supportive and you don't see many fights happening so thats definitely a plus.

This school is filled with good teachers who care about their students. I was more of an arts centered student and all of the music teachers were fantastic and talented. It's a beautiful school on a beautiful piece of land. There are occasional cases of discrimination or bullying but they usually get taken care of quickly. Overall it was a pretty good 7-12 experience.

The school is located in a rural area which can cause a lot of issues with transportation, diversity, social awareness and political issues. But the administration and teachers are extremely well prepared and represent the finest people in the area. College preparedness is a priority reflected in the number of AP and college classes offered.

This schools facility is over paid for not doing there jobs. They accused your kid with out doing a proper investigation, and never say sorry when they were proven wrong. Some of the teachers are there just for the pay check and don't give help when your child don't understand. Instead they tell the...
