This scbool has a bullying and racism problem that they do not care to take seriously. White kids can say whatever they want and all the teachers/admins say is they don't know what they are saying. I'm pretty sure a white child walkimg up to a black classmate and telling him that he wants him to be his slave wasn't one of those. If your child has an i.e.p they will be labeled the problem child and they will not be taken seriously. Moving to this district was the worst decision my family has ever made.

"Rural farming community that is the epitome of southern living and hospitality. Homes in this area are affordable and land is abundant. The area offers "above-average" schools, almost no crime, and has lower than average unemployment rates. Very pleased to be starting my family on Oakland Church Rd."
