I would really like to read some recent reviews. We are considering moving into the district before our daughter starts kindergarten and we aren't very familiar with the district. Thank you
I graduated in 2005 as part of the first graduating class since 1972. The teachers, students, and parents at this school incorporate tremendous pride and effort into everything they do, both academic and extracurricular. I believe that most of Priceville's low ratings on this site are due to the poor leadership that has guided the school for the past three years. But parents, don't let that stop you from sending your child here because significant changes in leadership took place over the holiday break. I'm confident that these changes will restore Priceville's reputation as the premier public school in Morgan County.
As a recent graduate of Priceville High School I can talk from experience. I had some great inspiring teachers throughout my high school year. Yes the school is going downhill and part can be blamed on the Principals. Most can be blamed on the Morgan County Board of Education. They hate Priceville for some reason and try there best to ruin it. Overall I love Priceville and when I have kids of my own I would love to send them there. I'm a Bulldog at heart and will always be.
We were forced to use a private institution to educate our children. We are very disappointed in the leadership and quality of teachers. I only think at this point it can go uphill. I hope the quality teachers that are there now hold out for a school system that needs them. Ask the school what they do with your gifted children.
This school used to be a great school but no discipline, no leadership and a school board that doesn't care. I don't know if it can be fixed or not but we have tried for 2 years to help make it better but no one seems to want to do anything about it.
I say Pricville High School is the best school in Morgan County.God has bless us in so many ways. We have so much to be proud of. Thanks to Mr.Guy Bowling. He does so much for our school. He is always encouraging us to do our best. What more could you ask for.
I was once a student at Priceville. I graduated from there 2 years ago and this May my younger brother will graduate. He is an intelligent young man. I was part of the first graduating class in over 20 years. It was an honor of mine to graduate from there and bring back the traditions. That is what high school is about. The main education that really matters is your college education in my opinion. That is what decides what type of job you get. And throughout my years at Priceville High School. That was what they prepared you for. On my way to and through college my goal is to be a teacher, and to return to Priceville High School. Edward L Mullin USMC
I am disappointed in that the school doesn't seem to want to involve the parents in anything and the lack of help for students who fall between the cracks is all but non-exsistant. I would rather the school spend money on teaching rather than having trees cut, waterfalls installed, and Christmas lights hanging from the eves. We need help and fast. But I will say that no matter what, the whole town is behind our kids in sports and extracurricular activities. Too bad there isn't more to the academic part of learning.
As a parent of a Senior and a Freshman I would say that Priceville has been a great school for my kids. True Priceville doesn't offer some of the classes of a large school yet. The school system is adding classes and opportunities every year, but they do offer a great deal. The Sciences, Math and other basics are there. The schools robotics team has placed in the top 3 every year that we have had a high school. Our cheerleaders are national Champions, our varsity boys have made the Final four in basketball. Our football team has made constant improvements (6-4 this year). Our marching band has grown and is great! The community is always behind our school and ready to help. Priceville is a great place to live.
My daughter attends Priceville Middle School. Priceville School is the most unprepared, unorganized, and unaccommodating school system I have ever encountered. During registration, I was either uninformed or misinformed.
