It's not that bad, but it does have a lot of room for improvement. Some of the teachers don't do their jobs completely and don't see to it that students are fully equipped with the knowledge they're going to need for college. The new principle is doing the school a lot of good though as far as getting the school to be more technologically equipped.

As evidenced by test scores, the town's culture and it's position as a "bottom 10 percent" school this is one of the worst schools in the state, a state that routinely has among the worst SAT scores no less.
