This is a great school. It has continued to be a strong leader among Tennessee schools. It has a safe and structured environment and decisions are made in the best educational interest of each student. Teachers spend countless hours of their own time sponsoring extra curricular activities. Students are extremely respectful and care about each other and parents are supportive. Close Quote

This school is pretty bad in my opinion. It is like a dictatorship; we have to tuck in our JACKETS! Yes, our jackets have to be tucked in! The teachers I have are (all but two of them) are horrible. If they stopped worrying about wearing belts and tucking in our clothes, they might actually bond with us and make it a fun environment! Another thing about the belts is: if you think it's no big deal, think about how a considerable amount of students have had detention, in school suspension, etc. just for not tucking in our shirts, jackets, or wearing belts! They blow things way out of proportion!

Another complaint is the food - everyone I know complains about the food. It is not hand made and tastes terrible. It is pretty sad how they actually have to put a "Just because it looks bad doesn't mean it tastes bad" sign up and "Keep rude comments to yourself" signs along with it in the cafeteria. Close Quote
