I feel like my school could give the students more freedom, and more breaks instead of a FLEX class. The best part of my school is how the teachers care for the students.

I am very unhappy with this school. It is very unorganized. The dress code is horrible. I would not suggest you put your child in the quitman school district. The football team is average and so is the baseball team. The softball team is one of the best in the state.
