This school just does what works for them regardless of impact on parents and students

My experience at this school was below average. It is a very underfunded school with a lack of resources. Which is understandable because they get their funding from the college. However, this school makes it hard for students if they are struggling because "they knew the school was challenging when they decided to join." School starts AT THE BEGINNING OF JULY. It doesn't operate on a block schedule which makes it hard for students to leave if they wanted to. Only a few of the math teachers are decent, which is why you see many people dual enrolling in math classes. They essentially FORCE you to dual enroll because they don't provide all the necessary classes to graduate. Many of the students end up going to ETSU so it doesn't really matter I guess. No transportation provided. Their arts program is horrible. So unless you actually plan on majoring in a STEM career (which they barely prepare you for), there's no point in going. My biggest thing with this school is that there is a HUGE lack of diversity. MOST students are white with a handleful of non-white students. Students are pasive agressive and many of them have been together for years so its hard to make friends unless you really force yourself into their circles. They say the ballot system is random, but if you take a look at the students, its not a surprise who they favor.

The pretentious attitude of the front desk women and even the principal is embarrassing. I have not experienced such cattiness from other women since high school.
