This is a great school for our children to attend. They're is not a classroom packed school! Good test scores, caring dedicated teachers & vary friendly community. I'm proud my children attend this school! This is a farm & country community and the school days are based upon that. Mon- Thur each week except holidays that occur on weekends or Mon & then school hours are Tue-Fri to make up the lost learning time. On regular school weeks children can attend Friday school for extra help such as one on one time & extra fun & learning some children and families may or may not be able to afford. It is a norm to have a fun field trip to town for a movie or adventure.

I think it is almost the worst school in the county. They have as high as 29 students crammed in one classroom with 1 classroom aide. They are more concerned with building a new school then the quality of education they are putting out. They are understaffed and quite frankly I wonder how they are meeting the state standards.
