The absolute worst principal ever encountered. Unilaterally decided to ban hooded or pocketed sweatshirts or coats. No notification to parents, who of course already had purchased school clothes for their children. He has only 200 or so kids to manage, and can't do it without restricting their clothing. If he were in, say, LA or New York, I could see it, but this town only has 2000 souls in it. If he can't manage 200 kids, he needs to step down and find another job, rather than micromanage idiotic policies. No experience in anything but teaching, no focus on academic success nor educational goals. Sports restricted to male students, a complete bias against girls and people of color. Altogether an embarrassing school. Can't find a redeeming factor. Don't enroll your child here, move west to Cody, North to anywhere, East to Ainsworth, or South to Mullen. This place is an academic disaster.

This school is by far the worst. The teachers show favorites and the teacher doesnt do anything about bullying. All the funding goes into sports. The Staff could care less about the other kids that aren't in sports. If you want my advice.. Don't send your kids here.
