This is a terrible school with horrible administrators and a school board that does nothing. Students gain nothing from going to this school. Any quality teachers desperate enough to accept a position at the school are gone within 2-3 years. The remaining aren’t worth their weight in peanuts. Supposedly there is a “band” program- who’d know? Sport’s participation is so low some teams just cease to exist. As a parent, you’d never know there was a principal or superintendent because they sheepishly hide and refuse to acknowledge or solve any of the MANY issues that exist here. This school should be shut down. There are plenty of other options in Bartonville.

Bullying is never taken seriously. Somehow guns have been managed to be brought in. Which was reported. They had a disabled man working as a “football coach” even though he had 1 leg, due to his lack of self care. Over 8 years. Having interactions with students. That led to a full investigation, which pictures and graphic conversations were exchanged with students. Which he was dismissed” from coaching. Band from the property. But no parents were ever informed of the situation. Even though there was a conviction. (Only reason) he was dismissed from the school. Mind you worked there 8 years! Teachers treat students according to popularity and Or status within the town of bartonville. Most. Not all. Not a trust worthy school. Safe? Not in my opinion.
