I absolutely loved my time at this school. I'm going to miss this school so much, but I'm especially going to miss two teachers. If your child has seventh grade teacher Mr. Dunlap or eighth grade teacher Mr. Shouffler then you have nothing to worry about. These two men are absolutely amazing, they pushed me to do my best and believed in me when I didn't. I had straight A's all through both seventh and eighth grade. I had the highest average in my seventh grade math class (Mr. Dunlap) throughout the entire year. I also had straight A's in my eighth grade Algebra class (Mr. Shouffler) the whole year. These men made me like math and helped me through everything whether it had to do with class or my personal life. I just hope that I'll have teachers like these two up at the high school.

I think that this school has good potential w/ the right leadership & followers..I dont feel that the principle has the staff that he needs to accompany an overall good evaluation. I think that the staff needs to open their eyes & ears more often & listen to what exactly that student or parent is saying. Its not always false when a student has a situation that needs help.I also think that if they would ask for more parent involvement when developing the 'student handbook' it would benefit the students as well as the staff instead of strictly concentrating on the staff.
