We have been very pleased with the education our son has received at this facility.

I haven't had a very positive experience in this school system. The most positive factor, however, would be the student body. I used to be bullied a lot but through time and patience, I earned a respect from my peers. I enjoy sharing hallways with them on a consistent basis and many of them have their own quirky traits that make projects enjoyable. The school presents assignments in a way that suggests that if you miss one you are on a path to failure, this was worse to me than other students because I tend to take responsibilities seriously. This caused me many health problems because I would obsess over projects with too little time and that required too much work. One class, I took actually broke me and dragged all my other grades down as I just tried to drag my grade up to a D so I would pass. I would spend countless hours on those assignments just to do poorly, and the teacher did no help, they didn't teach. All I wanted from them was a lecture and all I got was movies and youtube videos teaching for them. I have had many issues with staff, however, most of the staff is decent at their jobs, some even care about what they teach and can bring excitement to the subject. I think the best courses in this school system are in the shop classes and weights class. They are absolutely wonderful and very informative in teaching. I used to be a goody-two-shoes with my homework and with getting it done but I have since learned better. This school system taught me that my health was worth less than anything involving the school. I was told when I went to talk to a counselor that I had approached for help, that I was struggling because I was stupid and not focusing enough of my time on the subject. When they said this, I was averaging 3 hours of sleep on a good night because all my time went towards the class. I stopped talking to family and friends and stopped playing any kinds of games or doing any kind of project I might enjoy because all my energy went towards school. I was losing weight because I couldn't even spare time to eat properly. I tried to get help but was constantly being told that I wasn't doing enough, sometimes I didn't even sleep. A note to anyone, I am not a normal person by any social means. I learn differently and that makes me a problem. Most kids will fit in this school well, but if your kid is unique or undiagnosed don't send them here unless you're a momma bear. You will have to be aggressive towards protecting your kid from rubbish.

This school provided an amazing educational experience for my 2 oldest children and I look forward to my 3rd child attending soon. The teachers are so wonderful and completely invested in the children. Every adult in the building knows each child by name. We frequently run into our children's former teachers around town and they always take the time to talk to our family. It is the small town experience we hoped for when we moved here. Our kids were always engaged in the classroom and had just the right amount of homework. They made great friends there and remain friends with those same kids today. I truly believe there is something very special about this school. Keep up the great work South!

its okay but it needs improvements like water fountains in the 6th-grade wing
