Excellent Art program (it was never dicontinued as someone else stated). They actually have an outstanding art program amoung other things. Students can take 40+ college level credits and still be at a school that is small enough to enjoy the small class sizes (25) and athletics that are supportive of all students that want to play. They offer a 'triple crown' award to encourage students to play 3 sports a year and also maintain a high grade point average: this is something that students really strive to get. My kids really enjoy science at this school too (and the Elementary), not because it's easy for them, but because there is such an awesome staff of science teachers that work together and are great with the kids. Really can't say enough good things. The district has some great people in place and they have come a long way in the past couple years!! It is a very positive place to send your child.

This school offers excellent teacher/student ratios. In Kindergarten the average class size is 18-20 students and each class also has a F/T para to help out. The older grades average 18-24 kids. They have an excellent science and math program and they are one of the only schools around that continue to provide art class for all the elementary students! They do have Title 1 services, as well as after school services, and they added a Gifted and Talented program last year that was wonderful! If you're debating about sending your child here, I really recommend taking the time to check it out, talk to some of the teachers. You won't regret it.
