Parents need to attend school board meeting to advocate for the students. Communication could be better. Huge huge class sizes. Lacking individual attention. This school grown by leaps and bounds past 5 years. Some wonderful teachers and some not so great teachers.

Moved out of district to get a decent education. Small town logic. Some excellent teachers, but handcuffed by higher authorities. Should combine with a bigger neighboring district.

I think the teachers are great! However, the union representative/librairian is totally worthless just as their grounds facilitator! Eventually, I think the new sup will start to see through their mists of deception and get rid of the one who pretend to care about the district's real interest, a clean, safe and happy place for all!
