The school is a great little school. The per capita income in this area is relatively low and most of the negative comments from other parents might seem justified. I am a military officer and know that things could be better here but due to the love and care of the teachers and the outstanding Prinicpal

I am not sure what other school the parents are comparing this school to. Coming from a different state the test scores are way below average, which should be the FIRST thing you look at in a school. They focus on discipline at this school instead of education. I agree it has improved but unfortunately
