School Reviews
2 8/17/2016
Academic programs are old and outdated, programs are subpar, teachers are low quality and seem to not understand what they're teaching, facilities are old and run down. The band program is like a cult that only focuses on getting to state instead of just learning and enjoying music. After all these years they are finally getting an art class which will most likely not stay for long, and extracurricular activities are limited.

- Quality of academic programs, teachers, and facilities
- Availability of music, art, sports and other extracurricular activities
