This school has horrible placement for classes. They emphasize their Technology center but do not apply admission to it evenly across the board. Students can be failing multiple subjects and still be admitted while others with consistent A & B grades can be completely denied. The school imposes a study tract of what THEY think your student should be. If they can get kids shunted to the local collages then it looks better for them. They are more beholden to the community investors than the actual kids. If you can get in, there are great teachers and programs to be a part of. But if you don't tic the right buttons - they won't do much to help you, or they'll make promises they won't keep. I loved the Joplin School District but the experiences my family has had with this high school has put the final nail in the coffin on my hope for public education in this area.

this school is horrible and doesn't treats students with learning disabilities like people, students get horrifically bullied and the school does nothing.

2nd year with our son at cecil and it's been great, he has the best teacher I could ask for my 1st grader! Thank you Mrs. Sebastian you are the greatest! The rest of the staff works hard to do what's best for the children, which means they are constantly improving And working. I think each school has it's faults that are easy to focus on but the wonderful staff get overlooked when that's all you look at. Keep to the great work and thanks. An appreciative parent.
