Overall, I like this school, but when I went to use the bathroom after school one day (I was having a particularly difficult day feces wise) the toilet clogged wayyy to easily. Not to mention the bathroom smelled horrible after, there was no fabreeze on hand. Along with all of that, someone walked in after and had the audacity say who brought their cow to school? Im not very offended, just a little hurt. And as I say to my kids: I''m not upset, I''m just disappointed

This school is absolutely AMAZING! I feel so supported by the parents, administrators, and the community. We have such a beautiful building to conduct our teaching in, and the students are so wonderful. The faculty here work incredibly hard to make sure that no one is forgotten, and that curriculum is phenomenal. Students learn so much while attending school here. I feel so blessed to be able to work here and to be provided with such amazing support.

My daughter attends this high school, and I have never seen a school that is as caring, warm, and loving for students. The teachers and admin truly care and do an excellent job in showing that care. I am so thankful my daughter attends this amazing school! Additionally, the facilities are beautiful and well kept, the administrators and counselors are very approachable, and I am very happy with the quality of education she is receiving.
