This school made me feel at home the moment I entered it. The teachers were kind and had a good attitude always. Every student just about was very welcoming. Fights are a slight problem but all schools have their down side. The school is not in its best shape but that's only due to budget. It's no paradise but it does make you feel like you belong somewhere in this world!

About the tests


In 2009-2010 Mississippi used the Subject Assessment Testing Program (SATP) to test students in English II, writing, algebra I, biology I and U.S. history at the completion of each course. Students must pass all parts of the SATP in order to graduate from high school. The SATP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Mississippi. The goal is for all students to pass the test.
