Many teachers here genuinely care about the students and want us to strive to not only become more educated, but to also become a better person. They want us to be prepared for the real-world. I feel like some teachers are too strict at times, which honestly is not needed at times because we are old enough to know how to behave. Overall, this school is a great, small school which staff that genuinely care about everyone.

The principal of this school is not interested in helping the kids, he is interested in how the school looks rates. I would not recommend this school if you want somewhere that really cares about the students.
