The School is dedicated to helping all the students learn, no matter what their what the child's learning style may be. Great special (Title 1) services. There has seemed to have been a turn over of newer teachers, mainly because of different opportunities offered i.e., closer to their home towns or they have gotten married and relocate.

This school is mentally, and emotionally draining. The teachers are great people (for the most part), but the administration? a WHOLE other story. The principal, superintendent, and other administrators are extremely condescending and dismissive towards massive issues. As well as students being treated as if they are toddlers, and unable to be independent in any way. This school holds a tight grip on their sense of control, the principal has an extremely controlling and belittling nature, the way that he and his boss handle situations is extremely juvenile; there is absolutely no maturity. Due to the admins personal views, students suffered. They were robbed of many normal teenage experiences, such as a simple semi formal dance (the one that they did let the kids have was SPECIFICALLY labeled as NOT A SEMI FORMAL), simply hugging your friends, or even a pat on the back was not condoned! In my experience, my child was impacted in a positive way by a SUBSTITUTE rather than any certified teacher in that building. There is SO much bullying that the admin simply turned a blind eye to. So many families turned to homeschooling their children due the environment and administration.
