As a graduate of Cumby High, I can attest to a few things. First however, a little background about myself is necessary. My father was in the Navy, so we moved around quite often. I had the chance to see what many different schools were like. With that in mind, I can only rate Cumby as an average school.
... Read more The education opportunities are quite limited. There is only one foreign language (Spanish), no serious music program, and there are only two real electives (Ag and Home Economics). This is understandable as the school is very small. That being said, if a student has the desire to become a great student, the school is not a hindrance. I got to know the staff very well in only a few years there, and most of them have the desire to see the students succeed. Drugs are a huge problem; this is changing. Read less

My children have never lacked morals or self-esteem nor have any of their class mates-and I feel my children were properly prepared for entering college by this school district! Thank you.

I've had two chidren graduate from here. It's a good small school but offers very little. There is low moral and self-esteem among the children. This school system is not geared to prepare children for college. Although they are completing a new campus, it comes only after years of pressure from the

The teachers are well intentioned but lack the resources to do their job. Scholarships are almost non existant. Usally ranging from $500 to $1000 and only a couple of them. The administration changes hands every couple of years,most of the time resigning due to the outcry of the community. This is not a good report but with over 12 years with children in this school i feel obligated to tell you the truth. Read less
