This school is alright, don't expect much. Everyone can get their own Chromebook, but they were bought over 5 years ago. Several teachers are pretty good, but there are many that have no idea what they are doing.

Purcell High School is a well funded, smaller-sized school that is great at art and music. This school has some excellent teachers that make up for the lack of administration. One of my favorite thing is the students and community involved in this school system. The Small town of Purcell has a huge number of supporters and the culture can be found it approximately 80-90% of the residents.

I like all of the classes that they provide but I wish the student body was closer. There is too many cliques.

Absolutely ridiculous that visitors for a little league game can't sit at the visitors section in your stadium. We didn't get a reason why just that we had move. Do better and show respect to your visitors
