Classes are small and individualized attention can be helpful. However, the students are very sheltered from what the real world is like and many have difficulty in higher education because of this. Most of the teachers care about the students a but are not always well versed in current educational methods and tend to not follow state guidelines. Some of the courses are put together with no regard to standards or needs for required state testing. This puts students at a deficit when they take college classes. The top students at the school earn well deserved accolades for their grades but are not academically equivalent to students from a larger high school who earn the same grades, they have a hard time competing in a larger and more diverse school.

When I went there, there was so much bullying and just judgment overall by fellow peers and the teachers and administration did nothing really about it. When I went to a different school from there for my 6-grade year through my middle school years, it was so much better, I overall felt much safer, welcomed, and feel like I learned more about who I was and what I like, instead of trying to fit in like I was trying to do in Scotland Elementary School. I do have to say, if your kid is having trouble reading and writing, they do well teaching and helping kids with that and it has helped me through the years. Generally, though, you would have to pick and choose your battles going to this school when I went, however, I haven't gone in some time, therefore, I don't know what it is like now, but I do have to say it isn't the worst option if you choose to go but also shouldn't be your top option as well.
