It' a nice country school, friendly, care about the kids and are great with them. The curriculum is well rounded, and the kids seem to do well.


Posted April 3, 2005

Academics: low. Extracurricular activities: none. This school doesn't offer things that 'near by' schools offer. The excuss is 'rural', but distric 1 'rural' schools don't have that problem. Other rural schools offer dance, varies music lessons and band ect. The buses are old & over crouded. They put elem., and highschool kids etc., all on one bus rather than seperate buses. We are VERY unhappy and we can't afford to move.
