I think that personal at Mount Vernon is sweet and pretty relaxed. Our sports program struggle a little bit but the school overall is pretty good. Teachers are kind and nice and the school is probably the safest school ever in America!

Bullying issues, kids are not treated as equals...Zero communication from administrative personnel to parents. Also, a good amount of kiddos lost a peer and a friend to an unfortunate tragedy this summer and NOT ONE email or open door from any of the HS counselors there for these kids!! Ridiculous.....
