Nothing to complain about necessarily, there are some descent teachers and the school itself is actually kind of nice, I would argue that they offer quite a large array of AP classes. Though I do wish they would focus more on creative pathways, the students themselves can be quite enthusiastic about theater, or band. But the board doesn't seem to care; then again they don't seem to care about anything, in fact I think they are the largest problem with the school. They seem to only care about looking good in the public eye for new bonds, but seem to neglect the students in doing so. They have a lack of extracurricular over the winter and even when there are extracurricular to do, the school does not seem to remember them, or tell the students. In fact I would argue the large amount of extracurricular or AP classes are wasted because you either don't know how to do them, or if you can do them. Which is purely the falt of the few counclers at the school, they do not seem to know how to do their job! So to sum it up, it seams fine on the surface but when real problems come up you are seemingly all alone, do they have okay teachers and classes - yes, do they have a fair amount of extracurricular's - yes, but do they do the most important thing of all - NO!! and that is why I can't recommend this school. And even if somehow you could get over all that, the school isn't anything to brag about outside of that area either, and you should NEVER settle for a mediocre school.Sorry for the rather incoherent rant, I've had to spew the same stuff 100,000 times!

The class sizes could be better. Also millions of dollars of state funding and school bonds coming in. The administration gets upgraded facilities with bells and whistles and my child is in a small portable isolated from the main school. The teachers seem good.

The school was great at first, I liked it there, but when it comes to PE, we were pressured to do exercising and wont let us take breaks. my father tried to excuse my participation but the teacher just ignored it and makes me do it anyways. Once I listened, I was pretty dizzy and tired in usual. Also, some of the books they have us read in ELA includes a disturbing element and once I listened to it, I've had a long term depression that lasted 5 months until June 2025. it started in May 2024. So I think the school should focus on giving students the right lessons and the comfort they need.
