Horrible! The administrators, principle, teachers and staff, and school board don't seem to care about the students at all. They think they know what's good for us, the students, but they truly don't. Kids hate going here, because the people here; other students, teachers, etc. do not make it fun, or try to make it a place where kids want to be. The education is ridiculous too, we don't learn anything important really. We need classes to help us in the real world, as in financing, how to apply for jobs correctly, how to live, how to support yourself and your future/family, etc. not shapes and colors. I've only been going here for 2 years, and the first year was amazing until the most recent redesign came in. A lot really needs to change here, but no one will make it happen. I'm currently in the process of moving because my family doesn't think it's good for me here, and I do not blame them one bit. Bullying, drama, etc. is also extremely outrageous here. These students have no respect whatsoever. Super sad too see such a negative environment for a place that's supposed to carry you along.

USD 480 deals from a lack of effective leadership from the district level to the building level. Many long time residents and family members seek to protect their jobs, all while many students are achieving well below other state schools.

I taught in this school. It had some decent teachers, but wasn't doing a very good job of preparing students for college. The students and teachers were not treated with respect by the principal. It you are a parent thinking of relocating, I would not recommend this school.
