my son went through this school he was a out going boy until he attended this school there is a lot of bullying going and the Principal Jeff Leek does nothing about it the guidance counselor Tracey Levefer I went to her for my son getting extra help with the things he was having problems with and she basicity said it was up to me to find a tutor well I'm a working man trying to survive in this crazy world can't afford a tutor this is the kinda school this really is

upper schools are all about administers on down to their buildings and ground supervisor actually I was told he makes 100 grand for mowing the school grass any way my son went through this school district and he can't even sign his signature as he went through the grades I noticed the student's desk were so old and rusty but when you entered a principals office or a board office every thing was nice and shiny

Two of my children have gone through this school. Teachers are somewhat pleasant and seem to communicate ok. My oldest is IEP but despite having major struggles he wasn't diagnosed until age 7 and provided an IEP. The school has gone through at least 4 principles in less than 6 years, which leads me to believe there are some board of ed issues. This year I have seen a steady decline in staff and teacher morale. Many school extras have been cut, but I can say they have made an attempt to update security systems and replace playground equipment also expand the parking lot. I would like to see some of the older teachers retire and bring in some new staff solely because the older teachers just seem flat out exhausted and it's obvious. School lunches are ok. Overall it's a decent community with minimal ethnic diversity. I do feel the school and child study team make a significant effort to stay abreast of your child's education goals for differently able children.
