Great environment for learning and athletics. Many opportunities for extracurriculars and school involvement.
3/7/2020
The students learn how to interact in a community and how to treat each other and those they come in contact with respect.
2/11/2020
The teachers are very friendly and care about their students. The administration is working to update the school in areas like safety, bathrooms, and technology. There has been a lot of improvement in the last year, but there is still a long way to go. Most books being used are outdated and falling apart, but there are now chrome books that most classrooms use.
