The school system lacks discipline, has over crowded class room. The principal lacks the ability to stand up against the bullies and their parents.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted May 1, 2009

This school lacks resources, (from administration, educators and financial support) to educate a broad spectrum of children; ie... if your child is below average or above average.... your child will have difficulties!
—Submitted by a parent

It is a new school that lacks discipline. The principal is great though.

The WESTEST 2 is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of West Virginia.
