The teachers and administration really care, even for 'difficult' children. The children are not challenged as much as I would like but they accept all students and make a difference!

The teachers and Admin. really do care about the school community and the success of each student. The teachers are intelligent, caring, and very active with the students progress. You really can not ask for more from a small town school. The only thing is that the building could use a huge makeover.
