Great school with staff that really cares about the child's well being.
Their special education accommodations are really good and teachers
are sweet.
From the front desk, principal, aids, teachers, just everyone
provides a very sweet atmosphere.

Love it! Close Quote

Both my boys went there and I was thrilled with how helpful the staff was and the awesome teachers they both had. If you are looking for a district to move into, this is a great one. Mill Creek Middle school was also great and now we've just finished with our first year at River Ridge Highschool and loved it! It's great to live in Cherokee County! Close Quote
