I went there all 6 years and loved it! Everyone got along great, even though I was socially awkward. The teachers were great even though most of my teachers have retired, I've helped out and met some of the new teachers who are also great. Mr. More, Mrs. Barnes, Mrs. Allen and Mrs. Lynch were some of my favorite teachers who are still there. I would recommend this school to anyone, even if they can afford a private school. Close Quote
