I have 2 students here. The one senior and one freshman. I like that it is the type of school where most students know each other from their younger days and yet, they have been welcoming to students like mine, who are transplants. Parents seem to be engaged, FFA seems great and there are lots of programs, clubs and pathways for students to explore.

I don’t recommend parents take their children to this school, many kids are very disrespectful, racist, homophobic, and even make fun of kids with special needs. The principal says she’ll handle it but never does, all she says is “okay, I’ll handle it” but the bullying gets worse with each day when kids know the principal will do nothing. They say they are a good school but they are not. I also don’t think they fully question teachers before hiring, there has been someone that would look at kids very inappropriately, which is very uncomfortable to see while your kids are attending that school, thinking if that’s what they also do to yours. There has been some problems with teachers making fun of children, even the children making fun of teachers, in that school. many students are saying many bad things in front of other kids, making them disrespectful and bully each other because they are “different”
