After putting one child thru the torture of this high school I hope I never have to again. My child is a straight A student, no thanks to the teachers or staff at this schoold. In a consolidated high school, if you are not from Monticello, then your child doesn't have a chance in sports, scholarships, awards or anything else. The teachers only care about the locals with the exception of the Advanced Math teacher, she appreciates children who are prepared for her classes regardless of where they come from. This small town is in complete control of the school, the sports events, and anything else. It is so unfair for kids who are not local to have to drive ten to twenty miles to school and parents must provide their own transportation if the kids are involved in sports and required to stay after school. In hindsight, I would have paid for private school had I known how unjust this school system is.

My sons are current students, one will be graduating in May 2012 and he has been Principles Scholar for a lot of terms. My issue is that with good grades - he is having a difficult time being accepted at colleges outside of MS because the school curriculum has different requirements than required by other states- so he is being punished for that as if he has a shortcoming. He cannot meet the requirements to attend college- because of the school curriculum?

LCHS has educated all three of my children. The teachers here are of high quality,and do a wonderful job. I totally support thier JROTC program,with what they teach in these young adults. And the ones I have met are fine young men &women. A fine school to educate your children.
