As a graduate of this school, I'd have to only give two stars. The school only offers the bare-bones of academics for state requirements. At the time I attended, there was no speech team, debate team, drama/theater club. The chorus/band was near non-existant. Most classes are/were offered one time during the day, creating very little flexibility in one's schedule. If you were not interested in playing basketball, then you were outta luck for extracurricular activities. I would have been better served going to a larger school with a better variety of classes.
I love going to webber you know everyone around you and you get a lot of one on one time with the teachers that you cant get at larger schools. Also you are offered many dual credit courses and other varieties of classes. Not only do you know everyone you also know that you're safe
A VERY small school with correspondingly very limited academic options and flexibility and perspectives, very limited sport and extra-curricular opportunities but great student/teacher personal familiarity. Low teacher salaries produce corresponding difficulty hiring and retaining top-notch young teachers although most of the old-timers are local, quite dedicated and good. The school has no cafeteria; students can eat at the grade school but few do; most hang out and eat fast food in the hallway areas. Most of the students are quite aware but tolerant of differences in standards (ie. religion, morals, substance use choices, dress). The population is highly caucasian and rural American but students are reasonably accepting of those with other racial/cultural backgrounds.
Though we may be a small school we have almost everything a school needs. We have all the required classes and a few cool ones like spanish and college math classes. And since we have only three hallways you will never get lost and will make it to your class without trouble. We cram in all the material we need to know and even more. We have chorus, band, and Basketball. Our boys basketball right now are playing in the SUPER-SECTIONALS. Parents are a permanent fixture at this school participating in anything they can. I think that a small school is way better than a big school because you spend more time learning and it's easier to talk to a teacher if you need help.
