The administration can be found dishonest. They do tolerate bullying, harassment, and intimidation from leaders of the school, including the principal. They get away with it by considering the administration’s responses, opinions, and interpretation instead of by going off of a dictionary and the definition of what the words above mean. It protects employees, but unfortunately the children can be left unsafe and unprotected by adults who work for the school. Parents have turned in complaints. The sad thing is I was lied to when I asked if there were any and I was told there were none, yet I found that other parents before me complained about the administration to the superintendent and school board also, yet they go unrecorded and stay hidden.The Board determines that district policy and procedure are followed, yet when bringing up trying to reword the documents to protect students against verbal, psychological, or mental abuse when those complaints come in, there isn’t action taken.In my opinion, It seems like this School administration and superintendent care more about job security than they care about the students. Sad for kids who are required to attend.

Best compassionate and caring secretary around, who has been there for at least 3 decades. She helps the school run smoothly and the kids feel noticed, safe, and appreciated.Good principal who has been in this district for years as a teacher and vice principal prior to her position now.Good outdoor toys. Nice library. Creative PE teacher. Great musical holiday concerts.The teachers do an excellent job decorating their rooms to make the children’s environment feel warm, welcoming, and a place to learn. They go on field trips that not only educate children, but also give them the opportunity to explore their own town. Examples are: the fire station, the museum, the observatory, the energy plant, the public library, the park, and to the local FFA events to learn about agriculture, farm animals, planting, jobs, and so much more!The older kids come in groups from the GHS & GMS to read with students and to help the kids learn all about interesting and new things. They influence the younger kids to enjoy learning while building relationships. The PTO has also done a lot to make the school fun with events held at the school. They also help raise money, like with the Read-A-Thon.
