They lack initiative for the special education department. They have plenty of resources, yet choose not to utilize them enough. Instead of helping the kids that need help, they push them out slowly. If you are of different race as well other than white, good luck. They will claim not to be discriminate, but they will make it harder for you to achieve things. Your child being "different" in any way will paint a target on them by the adults and they cover their tracks. They like to make it like it's this most amazing school yet it's not. It's an under funded, middle of nowhere school that is falling through the cracks. Many families leave it for different schools in the area quite often or rather homeschool for obvious reasons. If you took a child from this school and placed them in the same grade in a proper school, they would be very far behind. Many of the kids struggle with things such as reading and math. If your child is struggling, they won't get the help they need and all the focus will be on the kids that achieve well. There is absolutely bullying at this school, favoritism, and much more. They also cross lines often when it comes to boundaries. They do not change either because most of the school is generational from the area.

The teachers in this school really care about their students. Our test scores are improving because we are focusing on what's right.

The teachers at this school say that we have no rights although we are entitled to cerrtian rights because if we aren't or parents aren't that means they would do this all out of kindness. The school board doesn't let kids voice oppions at the school meeting because "we have no rights." The adminastration gets paid way to much for the job they do granted some do a good job teaching and running the school board. Thats why I rated this two stars and I would like you to take my letter into consideration and fix somethings.

There is great teachers and the staff are all wonderful. I saw my kids grow and excel throughout their time here. I couldn't be happier with this school.
