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.

Puckett High School is a really nice place to go to school at. I went to Puckett since 4th grade and I'm about to graduate. The people there are nice and the teachers are good at their jobs. I especially like the 9-12 grade teachers since they're usually really chill but know how to help you learn. It's a small country town so theres not a lot of new places or people but there is plenty to do at the surrounding cities and towns. The athletics at Puckett are also really good most of the time but not good enough to win any awards. Its just a typical small town public high school.

The quality of this school has gone down since we have Nicole Robinson at our school. We are now rated poorly and the student body absolutely cannot stand her. Some teachers have complained that she's enforcing things she has no right to. RCSD please look into her.

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!!!
