The teachers, administrators, and coaches truly care about each and every student within the school. Our school has a sense of community that envelopes each students. All of the leaders do their best to cater to the education needs and learning curves of each student. The main improvement I would like to see is better money management within our school system to each program.

There is a great community at this school, but it is being broken down by the new high school administration.

The character of the student body aside, the teachers can't control a class to save their life, and god forbid your child has a disability, the special ed people totally know how to treat an autistic child.
