For a small school with limited funds it is flat out amazing that this school continues to achieve higher than most schools in the state of Kansas. ALL of the teachers are first rate period. They spend countless hours plannning lessons with real world applications. My children are constantly chanllenged to question the status quo and create innovative solutions to issues. This school is absolutely the best school in the state. The issue with not having enough honors classes is the fact that State of Kansas has refused to fund the moneies needed to offer those classes. I know for a fact that they offer several classes through Dodge City Community College.

BEWARE---- The state of Kansas only requires a 2.0 GPA to get into one of their schools of higher learning. So if you have a student who wants to go to an Ivy League or some other college out of state you will have problems. I know from personal experience. I had to go to a community college to finally bring up everything. And I do mean everything, to finally meet my goals. Not enough Honors classes, too many cliques, no where to excel.
