That is the biggest bunch of bull i have ever heard! Any child who lives in this school district is allowed to attend, regardless of race, so don't even go there! And have you ever stopped to think that those children who say they are behind academically did not put forth as much effort as they should have? Spring Hill has some excellant teachers. But the students have to apply themselves as well.

This school has some good things going for it but ethnic diversity is not one of them. They pride themselves in the fact of having >1% blacks in the school. The children who graduate from this school have said to me personally they are behind academically. If the school is so great and has such high test scores why is it that they will not except any child who would like to be a part of that environment, regardless of color.

This school is so small that it doesn't allow the children to realistically experience the diversity of the world. Several of the locals are related in some way or another which allows the system to basically ran by the local 'authorities.' The teachers are unable to properly teach due to the restraints placed on them by the local 'authorities' and therefore several clusters of kids are allowed to slip through the system.

Great school!!!! My kids are learning and they are happy. When they go to school I feel like they are in a safe place. I wish all kids were so lucky!
