Excellent teachers. I have had 3 children attend this school, and each child has had an increasingly better experience.

This school district runs as a whole team including the superintendent, principals, teachers, students, children, and all other staff. The environment is safe feeling from outside and inside harm. The staff provide unique ways to teach the children that will stay with each child as they mature by providing great field trips and other outstanding opportunities.

I can’t recommend anybody this school. Many other students are racist, homophobic, etc. I hear various slurs practically every day, and derogatory language directed towards minorities is incredibly common. The dress code, at first glance within the handbook, seems standard but some of the staff enforce it to a very high degree, often dress-coding girls for incredibly minor instances of a skirt slightly too short, shoulders showing, and even shirts that expose the stomach *only* when the arms are raised far above the head. It seems they do so on what they deem acceptable, not what the actual dress code says. The learning experience here is also not great. There are few advanced courses, and not that many electives outside of things like welding, agriculture, or wood shop (which teach good life skills and may interest many people, but there’s not a lot of variety) I don’t feel like I’m being properly prepared for college here. The one good thing I have to offer is that this school prides themselves a lot on their sports. Extracurriculars have high participation, and do not require tryouts. Anybody can join, and even if they aren’t great at the sport they can still learn and improve over time. All in all, I can’t really think of anything else good to say about this school. It can be a potential option since an actually good education is scarce in this area, but I highly advise against coming here.
