School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
The class rooms are over-crowded and there are not enough text books for the students but somehow the administrators manage to find enough money in the budget to give themselves a raise every year. The buses are filled to capacity and some students have an hour & a half ride to school every day. There is no band program and no busing available for sports even though parents are required to pay a large fee for each sport their student plays
