This school is one of the best. As a prior graduate from there I am doing everything in my power to return to this school district for my children. Your classmates are like family, the teachers care, and the education is wonderful. Who cares about the sports? They give us a few and we need to focus on our education anyways. With the small class sizes everyone gets attention. The staff new me, my sisters, my parents, and there were no secrets. I would give anything for my children to be able to go to this school and get a good education.

The teachers in this school act as if they are teachers of classrooms the size of 20 or 30. There Class sizes are around 8 kids and the teachers act as though the kids are just too tough to deal with! The kids seem to love the companionship betwean each other. So there is a positive to the negative.

Thsi is an excellent school where your kid can get the one-on-one he/she needs. I highly recommend this school becaouse it is a small school where everyone knows everyone and it has such a loving community.

The school has cut just about everything, we are down to one sport of basketball. The class offerings are minimal. The class size is too small. This school really needs to be looked at by the state of Missouri. It needs to consolidate with neighboring schools.It is time to do what is best for all the kids.
