School Reviews
2 10/10/2025
No FFA or vo ag programs in a rual farming community. Tries to compete with bigger schools like gardner building new schools every few years and closing the rual elementary schools. The city itself is morally wasted and is running down the drain fast. Once a great school that turned into just another worthless town and school.
