The school is small and fairly comfortable. Teachers are nice and helpful whenever they can be. The administration leaves something to be desired, as parents have been barred from bringing complaints to the school board.
We have various types of organizations, but very few in comparison to larger schools

CCOPS- a county philanthropy group-only can have ten members
The school only funds complexes for sports and transportation for other organizations. It pays for a minimum amount of supplies for the fine arts groups, but not enough to support the groups. The biggest organization is FFA, and sports are very popular.

Each teacher has a different style of teaching, so it is a little difficult to adapt each year to a new teacher if you have not had them before. The teachers are all invested in the lives of their students. Whenever they are available, teachers will chat with students about anything, making students feel like they are cared for. Teachers are willing to assist students with homework. There are a few teachers, though, who seem like they are not very knowledgeable about their subject. There are also a few teachers who do not adequately explain topics in class in order for students to understand them. However, most teachers are quite capable of getting their message across to students.
