The teachers for the 9th grade classes were very, very good. The sports programs are competitive at the state level. Frankly, it was thrilling to be a part of this community. School spirit could be a bit better. Close Quote

The student has been mistreating all years long, the teacher could care less about African American students. The district policies are junk, they are just something to hide behind. This school district is a joke, don,t be in a hurry to get there. Close Quote
