For a small-town school, it could be worse, but it's not that great. Academically, it's fine, but I wish they had weighted grades. As far as electives go, they have a good variety. Astronomy is neat! However, the atmosphere here is not good. I think a few of the teachers are good, but a good chunk of them obviously pick favorites and let their favorites get away with just about everything, including bullying. Probably not coincidentally, those kids are most often those who play sports. At least half of the kids are homophobic and racist, and the teachers make no attempt to stop it. I have personally heard more than one instance of white kids saying the n-word in the halls with no repercussion. Surprisingly, this school is pretty good about helping kids with disabilities, but it's quite common to hear the r-word in the halls. If you're a conservative, white, christian, cis-het kid, then you might like this school. Personally, I don't feel completely safe. Also, a ton of the kids vape, which is gross. For the record, the teachers make somewhat of an effort to stop kids from vaping, but they appear to speak out more against things like the dress code than anything meaningful to improve the atmosphere of the school. If you're worried about COVID, don't come here, because half the kids don't wear masks over their noses. Overall, I think this school is very average in most regards, except for the disproportionately high number of bigots.

We moved to Spring Hill in 2016! Had we know how great it was - we would have moved here 10 years earlier!!! What an amazing change for my 3 girls. The overall atmosphere of the elementary, middle and high school were amazing.
