My child has attended this school one year. In that time, the child’s grades have improved. There are a lot of after school activities the kids can be included in like archery, quiz bowl, wrestling, cheer, 4H, fccla, library club. The kids are recognized in a monthly ceremony that also promotes school spirit and anti-bullying policies called the “Campions Assembly.” They have a school nurse, counselor, and principles in both education and discipline.While I have no experience in the special education department at this specific school, the district director is exceptional. I have spoken/met with her several times for a child in a different school but same district. The children are both direct instruction/mainstreamed where permitted and I see them on campus and are included in events outside of normal school operation hours.Every school has teachers that parents don’t “prefer”. Each child learns differently. You can be a supportive parent and be involved at this school. You can volunteer to help with after school activities and special events. I have even been on school trips with clubs. You can make this town/school your community if you are willing to put the time in to be involved. No school is perfect but I feel my child is cared for and education goals are being met. They want our children to succeed and try to help navigate issues as they arise. I have no issues setting up meetings or communicating with the staff as I feel needed and have been reached out to as they felt needed.

The staff and teachers at this school are wonderful. They do offer honors classes, but my child did not find them challenging, nor the students in the classes as advanced. The staff stresses character, but the students are more interested in social pursuits and dating. It is a large school and it is easy for students to get lost in the shuffle despite the staff's efforts. The budget is severely stressed and the teachers have to drive the school buses.
