The teachers are really helpful and nice and I had lots of friends. I really enjoyed going there. I graduated in may 2018 and now I'm enrolled at no flow state community college in McMinnville tn.

If more money was put into the school, the students cared more, and the staff would try a little harder, this place would be a much better school.
