School Reviews
2 9/24/2016
The reason you pick a small town school is for the class sizes and possible one on one time with the teachers. The teachers are as bad as the students as far as bullying or forming cliches with students and alienating other students. Try to go through the channels to change things and you will find a great lack of compassion for students and community image!
