I love my child attending this school. She also loves her school. I communicate with her teachers with no problem. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that I wish they had more supervision in the halls. I trust my children do make good choices so it doesn't bother me to much. I plan on having her graduate there, and my other children as well. If I can choose any high school in the county, it would be L.C. Bird. Close Quote
