The teachers are the best part about this school, the students however are either really good, or really bad. It is an average school, with great staff and mediocre sports programs.
I liked how involved all the teachers were. They definitely do not prepare you for college very well. The school lacks diversity, but it's a small school in a small community, so there's not much you can do about that. I will give them props as they have made BIG improvements as far as safety and administration. The new principal has made great strides to change things around in the school, and you can definitely tell.
Most of the teachers here are amazing and extremely helpful. I have learned so much the last four years, and I have had so much encouragement to be successful.
