I'm not too fond of the fact that the school is so small, but that isn't something that can fixed. Other than that, I don't really have anything bad to say.

I love Puckett so much. Everyone here is so close knit and always together we're truly just a school of best friends. We're so small that everyone knows everyone and we all stick together with ease.

Most of the classes just sit there and play on their cell phones. Some of the teachers set out to insult and embarrass the students then play it off like it was a friendly joke!!! I am left to make sure my kids are ready for college because these teachers do not care!!!
