5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWell, the bad things about this school are the boy's sports teams (boys basketball won only one game in the 2011-2012 season and two games in the 2012-2013 season), football team switched to 8-Man and isn't doing too hot, baseball is shared with another school, there isn't a wrestling team. Girls sports, such as cross country, track, and basketball, are all doing very well. The band has a new director and they are looking worse for the wear, the admin. isn't open to changes, especially by students, and is a "what I say goes" kind of person, even though we have a part-time superintendent. The staff members are more relaxed than they should be and let students get away with things, such as standing around talking in the middle of P.E. class. They're easy on the grades and you can succeed, but there's quite a few low points...and did I mention the lunch?Parent Review13y ago
