4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school in 2012-2013 for my first two years of high school. Despite the small class size, nice building, and intelligent teachers. I was miserable. They like to "judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree and tell it that it is stupid when it falls time and time again". I was that fish and I was not able to fit into the cookie cutter student ideals they created. They offer a program called Running start through the local community college for a student to attend college full time during their Junior and/or Senior year. I was signed up for this program and qualified for everything. Then with one week of school left we were informed that I would be taken out of the program if I didn't raise my math grade. I studied harder than I ever had and basically taught myself an entire semester's worth of info because the way the teacher taught did not fit my learning style. I got an A on the final and raised my grade but they still took me out of the program. I withdrew from the school and now attend the college on my own as a homeschool student and I am thriving. this school needs to figure out a way to allow students who are different still succeed and not be miserable.Student Review11y ago - Pecatonica Community Middle School
