My step-son goes to that school. I think Mt Hope needs a middle school. 5th grade students shouldn't be in the same school with 10, 11 and 12 grade students.

I am not a parent but I am a student at Mount Hope High school and I feel the school does a good job. We do have extracurricular activities and academic programs,some children just don't get involved in them.
