Corydon in general has a lot of drama and it spills over in the school. People just can't stay out of other people's business. The guidance counseling is a joke; I figured out my own way through everything and most of my friends had to do the same. The academics are pretty good; Biology and English not so great. There are a lot of stupid rules, too, but you get used to that.

This is a pretty good school. We are nice and play fair. There is a great baskettball team and the fans are just great. Students from bigger schools can agree with anyone when they say it is better than a big school. People mingle and there are not any 'groups'. We are all one and equal. I like this school and can't image going to a different one.
