Solid public education in a rural community. Parent involvement is minimal. Challenged finding qualified teachers, and prevented by budget constraints to hire more qualified teachers that would allow the school to offer a greater variety of courses.

We need our fifth science position back. It's affecting the leading of students. Also we need a longer lunch. How ever the staff is pretty chill.

I enjoyed attending this high school, although my years got interrupted by Covid, I liked the sense community the school had while still having a large student body.

I find that it all depends on who you are, whether you get help or not or treated fairly, a lot of kids get pushed through or fall through the cracks. It's all politics and I'm looking into transferring my son, he is a sophomore and I've had it with this district
