I am currently a student at this HIGH SCHOOL and it made a complete turn around. We don't have the BEST teachers, but we have teachers that are willing to get out of bed in the morning to teach us because they care! Ms. Eberle is the best principal anyone could ask for. She is there when we need her, even if we don't need her, she is still there. Don't be afraid to send your student there because it's not a bad school, we as students give this school a reputation and we should do better with respecting OUR home.

The school is not the worst place to send my child with autism but not the best place according to my experience as a parent of a special needs child. No one on here has talked about this area at all and it needs to be addressed. I just don't agree with or like the school or school district mixed my child who is moderately on the spectrum with kids that are more severely autistic up in the same classrooms for years in a row now. My son got bit twice by another child last school year and they placed that same child that bit him a few times back in the same class with him this school year and he's in 5th grade now. I feel my son is still traumatized by this kid that bit him since he acts out whenever that kid comes around him in class or if the kid is near my son on the school bus. I just don't feel my child with autism is safe there alone at the school without his behavior technician there with him. The school really needs to get that together now. I plan to move my son to another school for next school year when he goes to 6th grade that will cater to autism where I feel I don't have to hear about bitting incidences and I know he's in a safer environment. Get this together Henry Lea!!
