This is the school i have been attending. It is a great school, with good teachers, great classes, and helpful advisors to prepare us for college. As an added benefit, the school has a snack hut with a popcorn machine, which is an automatic win in my book.

I felt prepared in someways, like the fact that I was able to take many college courses to go towards my future degree. But I don't think the classes were as challenging as I needed. Right now I feel like I am struggling to study because I never had to while I was in high school.

The building has somewhat bad conditions. For example, the bathrooms are from the 50's.

I've had 3 children in this district. Nepotism and favoritism run high in this community. Bullying and mental health concerns are definite issues that have persisted. Don't expect professionalism or equitable treatment and education. While it isn't all bad, the cons definitely outweigh the pros.

I wouldn't have wanted to attend any other school & wish I could relive my school days. Any issues I encountered I overcame making me stronger & determined to succeed.

High School math department is not the best and that leaves some students unprepared for college. Lots of sports are offered, clubs exist, and the music department is amazing. Mine say the school lunches are pretty great also. Nice size school makes it easier to keep open communication going, small...
