My kid goes to this school and the food is bad it has mold on the food milk is expired. Yard duties are really mean teachers say we won’t success without school. Chairs are broken in the classrooms the playground is written with bad words there’s snakes roaming around the fences are broken. The bathrooms smell bad poops on the floor. Highly don’t recommend this school.

"There is a marvelous community volunteer effort here. We have a grange, club for adults, for kids and a volunteer library. We have a cultural center, a farmers market, and nationally famous sausage and meat. It's quiet and unique here. Picture apple orchards meet the redwoods. I adore my neighbors and my sense of safety and the peace."
