I like the schools. I don't really have any complaints. I feel like the entire faculty and staff are doing what they can with what they have. If parents are "all-in", you would see that the majority of the staff are as well.

I'm a graduate from the class of 2014. This school is all about sports, though the focus seems limited to boys' football, basketball, and wrestling, and girls' softball, basketball, and volleyball. Extra-curricular activities other than athletics are often overlooked. The mathematics and science programs are quite lacking and more tutoring options should be available within the school. There is a poor drama department consisting of only a play held every year by the chorus and band teachers, and there are no student-run clubs. The school is very strict about dress code and is very biased towards females.The student body has a bad case of "tall poppy syndrome." The tall poppies that stand out are cut down. Underage drinking and drug use is an epidemic here and not enough is done by the school to stop it. Most students, however, are farm or small-town kids who mean well. The windows are blacked out and we have no cafeteria. I've heard the school doesn't work well with parents. I noticed they work slowly and that the school is poorly funded. In conclusion, the classes are lacking, the students are a bad influence, self-esteems and scores are low, and the place is depressing.
