While I like how the school is trying to improve on what they don't do well, there is lots more they need to focus on. There have been many instances where the school didn't take harassment and bullying seriously.

Teachers here are terrible, as students we are honestly bored or stressed out the whole day. Half the teachers don't know whats what, especially the subs. And the mvu students are mostly just a bunch of kids that don't care about anything other then acting like morons. Our tests scores are basically rock bottom, and as a pretty smart kid, I feel like there is no hope in the future for my abilities because it's basically impossible to do anything here.

This school isn’t fantastic and works hard to make sure all of the students feel like they belong. There is also a lot of different elective courses that students can take.

New programs roll out this year for the high school. The kids are able to take 2 college courses through CCV for free. Incredible music and performing arts program, and access to agricultural courses and a variety of technical study programs.
