I have gone to school here since kindergarten. Our class has always been close we used to have more than 30, and now we have 12 students planning on graduating this spring. In most of my classes, we don't really do that much and the rest are online because there aren't that many classes available. The school needs some maintenance because it is a really old building. The administration has changed a couple times which causes some stress on students and teacher.
