This school is excellent. I transferred my children from a different district, and he difference is night and day. Simms readily helped my daughter with her learning disabilities and set for a 504 program for her as soon as the school year started. She has great grades and is getting the help she needs despite her medical issues. The staff is loving and caring. The principal is awesome. He really cares about the kids, and it shows. I am proud to have my children in this school district. Working with the staff is a joy.

"The commute is great if you have your own car to get to civilization, (just kidding) I love being out in the first areas but you have a nine mile drive to get to anything . Gas, grocery, restaurants. But I do love the solitude of the rural areas. "

"The area is quiet most of the time, in certain holidays the neighbors throw block parties that last all night, and they usually fight with each other and the police usually show up. That is the only negative aspect of this area. "

"I love the area and the solitude of the neighborhood some of the people here are very friendly and speak every time they see you. Some other people only look at you and keep yo themselves. That is kind of scary when you have young kids that like to play outside. There are always dogs roaming the streets unsupervised also. "
