We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

What I've enjoyed most about my school experience here has been the teachers. I have had many great connections with them. I do, however, wish that the sex education class was more lgbt inclusive and sex positive. I also wish that the school board was more sensitive and more eager to accept criticism.

Very laid-back school. The education is average. Some teachers are dedicated, while others are not. The district should be more strict on the teachers and more diligent on keeping an eye on them as well - there have been many issues of inappropriate behavior by staff in this district. Building needs to be upgraded and more funding applied to them

Being involved made it easy. Clubs and groups are key. Holding a position or being involved in any of the following will make the overall experience here very enjoyable; Key Club, Student Council, Sports (all around), Leadership Academy, and Journalism.
