There is no sport program at this school! They can't win a game plus they have no Football just Basketball. There Coaches in this school are not very Athletic orientated.
There is no Music program in this school...The band holds about fifteen students, with this many students they should all play on key...Not True the worse music program that I have seen in a school..
Academic are fair. Most of these students are not as prepared for college as they should be..Their Academic have them ready for a Community College but not a University.. With meeting students from this School, most of them just continue on at the local Community College, after dropping out of the University.
Academically if they built their Athletic Department, and their Music Department. There Staff would see this would help their Academic greatly..And their funding for these programs would increase for more upgraded equipment.
By equipment I mean for all three departments.. They have missed the boat on the whole great picture..It can't be because of their size.. There are other schools that are that small, and have better programs. Close Quote
