The school's academic performance is generally below the state and district averages across various subjects and grade levels, with particularly weak results in Earth Science.

This is absolutely the worst school in the area (Spotsy, Stafford, Orange, King George, and Caroline counties combined) and has been for around 20 years. Very low income families, very poor teaching staff, and very poor discipline strategies all lead to a hostile, chaotic, and dangerous learning environment and much lower standardized test scores. I work within the school system and everyone says this. I had a daughter attend this school and we had to relocate to send her to a better school. Do NOT send your kid here - if you can help it at all. Close Quote

Any amount of theft isn't even treated at a misdemeanor, I've already had $50+ stolen from me and nothing has been done to apprehend any of the criminals.

Teachers are only teaching for money and the english department has not taught me ANYTHING all year. It's all about the night book and Tolkien. I was given massive packets of work for two chapters of a book and received no support from my teacher, leading to the grades of most of my classmates to plummet. It's also coincidentally the one class i have a C in.

Any amount of money the school receives is wasted on events that people rarely attend due to all of the stress they have to deal with from this school. NOT ONCE have I just woken up and decided "school should be fun today" but instead constantly had thoughts of suicide and figured it would be much better than attending this hellhole.

I've had thoughts of starting up a community but never was actually able to due to the amount of restrictions and limitations of this school, where they could use whatever funding they received they wasted.

I'd have more to say but I don't save not express my thoughts very well Close Quote
