Within the school system I feel safe and involved in a good environment. The teachers and staff are very giving. However I would like to see more clubs and activities. The school lacks coordination in some ways, with fundraising, mission trips, and regulations. On another note, the pricing for the food is reasonable but I would like to see more nutritious meals. Lastly, the academics are great and prepares students for college.

I proudly attended this school but they have since updated their handbook to be exclusionary. Their name locally is now associated with bigotry against LGBTQ people and I am embarrassed to say I am a graduate.

The school has adopted a written policy in their student/parent handbook that states, in no uncertain terms, that a student may be expelled for being homosexual. We are currently seeking a new school that won't teach my children to be so profoundly un-christian.

This school is not the place you’d want to send anyone you love. The teachers are highly unqualified, as many do not have teaching degrees and the turnover rate is high. Learning is minimal, yet they give unbelievable amounts of homework. The students have to almost teach themselves. The administrat...

This school is absolutely appalling. It's in a state of disrepair, unclean, and reeks of mold. During my tour, I couldn't help but notice that they prioritize taking money from parents rather than investing in necessary upgrades. They even had the audacity to ask for additional funds to fix an unsaf...
