Posted May 30, 2009

There is a serious lack of compassion from most of the teachers. They must not be getting paid enough or something because they only stay for a year and then leave. Most of the work they do is busy work, and the transition to college is very hard. The teachers and students have no school spirit, and they just don't care. If you are thinking about taking your kids to a small town environment, this school is not the best option for your high schoolers.
