Posted September 18, 2006

Pretty good school, this is my son s second year there and he is doing well. I am very proud of him. We were a military family when we moved here so he had to do some bouncing around before we settled here. The typical school clicks seem to exist however for the most part the students seem to get along well. The school staff has reacted quickly to any questions or concerns that I have presented as well they will let us parents know when our students are not doing there work or are having troubles in areas that they feel us parents can assist. Over all I am very pleased with the schools here in Marissa. The small student body combined with good teachers makes the grade. We could use a football team, these young adults have a lot of free time on there hands after school! We do have golf, baseball, volleyball, basketball, and now shooting (due to the new world shooting complex just a few miles away), I know my boys would participate if we had a football team .. I give the school a solid B- overall.
