I would rate my school experience being there a great time students and teachers can actually have conversations here without worrying about it. Ms Rayne is an amazing principle and cares a lot about students.

The building is up to date but the walls do not define a school. The special education dept. really has no idea what to do when helping a child graduate. No communication between teachers, staff, and parents, the Principal is only worried about her career, covering up anything she possibly can while truly enjoying the micro-management rules she would rather bother herself with. The school has such a strict policy about being tardy, or illness that as a parent you are scared to keep a ill child home. You need an excuse for any class missed or it actually lowers your final grade. The VP's are either worried about covering their you-know-what or being lap dogs to the Principal. The staff have no communication with special ed teachers, and usually have no idea if you child even has a IEP or not. You only get a call if your child is tardy or your medical note does not cover an absence...never if your child is failing a class. The band was extremely poor in attendance and performance, sports have gone down hill compared to where they were even 5 yrs ago. The black to white ratio is 50/50 and fights and theft run rampant. So disappointing compared to the Elem and Middle school here.
