School Reviews
4 5/6/2021
Ouray has a great education system and I really enjoy going to this school. The only downside, is that many grades have only (at least) 12-5 kids. I have struggled with friendships my entire life, but now, I feel like it is even harder to find close friends. I am kind of loner.
