This definitely the best school in the district. They are so willing to help all of the students and parents. They also make sure that we are prepared for college and beyond. The teachers are amazing and make connections with students!

Since it is a small town, most people seem to know or at least know someone who knows someone. The school districts are close enough together that everyone can spend time with all the students. The community feels very close, and the teachers always help when they can. Classes are challenging, but doable.

I would like the building and curriculum to change I feel like my school is very loosely run because it isn't that big of a town,
