That last review is a lie!!! Most of the teachers and administration are rude and incompetent. They treated me and my son like we are criminals. They play favorites with the students, if you are not a all star athlete or from a well none family born and bread here them they treat you like trash.

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.
