This school will work with you if you take a stand to be involved. They are willing to help in any way they can and have learned through experience that a parent can be their best friend or worst enemy.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted July 12, 2004

Students are not treated fairly. Inconsistant dicipline in the school major show in favoritism toward principle's family members. Hardly no extracurricular activities. Poor supervision and no support from administration or school board for teachers. 2003-2004 School Board president lack of education and treats parents and teachers very poorly.
