Our school is a very small school. This has lead almost all of us to be connected and created an amazing school culture. The negatives to the small school however is the lack of funding, sports, and classes. Our school has almost nothing a majority of schools will have.

I loved everything about this school. The teachers are awesome and are always right there if you need help. The school is also very small and I have become friends and are extremely close with all of my teachers.

I would say that my experience at Norfork has been overall positive. It is very small, but with such a low teacher to student ratio it is much more personal than the other schools in the area. Opportunity for classes is rather low as it is a rural area, but the test scores in recent years have shown potential in many of the students.

Norfork elementary has its problems and is now limiting parent involvement most of the teachers are experienced and curious some think they rule even over the parent and the principle and superintendent is allowing it If you are an involved parent and want to work with the school for the good of you...

Norfork High School is fantastic. The teachers care about the students and help to keep parents informed. The principal has many years experience and is respected by the children. The parent involvement exceeded all of my expectations. Above all, this is a nice & quiet school. You dont have to worry...
