This school has an amazingly beautiful campus, offers free breakfast and lunch to all students, and offers some cool classes like drumming when funds are available. Some of the teachers at this school are absolutely great. But the leadership is terrible. The principal has poor judgment, is a terrible communicator, and always needs to do what she wants in the way she wants it done. She seems to have very little effective leadership experience and it unfortunately seems to be hurting the school.

I had to pull my child from this school. Small mountain town, if your child finds the right group he/she can have success. Otherwise the school can be pretty grueling. Some of the teachers are great, others not so much. There is a lot of racism/homophobia at all three schools. Probably because it is a mostly white school. Current admin is good, but need much more support to change the climate.

This school has lots of potential. Lots of sports programs, small town feel, and small class sizes. However, the district or the administration are very resistant to change. They like to do things the way they always have. Practices that were effective in the 1990's are not effective now. The school definitely tracks students and because of the size of the school, students get put into classifications, they they can never get out of. There are many examples of racism and homophobia at the school due to it's largely white population. Some of the teachers do a great job, others probably shouldn't be there.
