| 1 The horrible worst school I've ever let my students go to the teacher are very disrespectful and don't care about the kids strongly recommended you pick somewhere else!!!! - Posted by Parent - Unknown |
| 5 I love Natrona County. I came to this school hating school and never wanted to graduate, but now I want to graduate. Their teachers are absolutely amazing. They put in an effort to care about every student. - Posted by Student/Alumni - alain |
