It is a small town high school, with all that entails. I am a few years out and after college (graduated in 2012, my younger sister graduated in 2016). It provides mediocre education, limited academics (when I was there they had just started offering an AP curriculum ...10 or 15 years after most schools in surrounding towns). The school emphasizes sports participation and my sister encountered a bullying culture that was extreme at times and mostly went unchecked by staff and administration. I think if you fit in to small town culture and don't have particularly high expectations when it come to academics or support offered to students, then it is fine. Personally I would want more for my children!

This school system is not friendly towards parents and children with special needs or who are not a part of the status quo. It was a battle to get my son the accommodations he needed and my daughter was pushed through instead of engaged. They did not address her reading comprehension problems until her last year. The misogyny towards her and other female students by male students was also very shocking to me. I would not recommend this school if your child needs services.

My son is currently in this school and I feel as if the administration, teachers, and coaches all go the extra mile for the student. They challenge and encourage their students to set high goals and to reach them. My son absolutely loves this school and has grown so independent and confident since attending. I can't rave about our experience enough.

I graduated from this school almost 10 years ago. I moved from a much larger town half way through my junior year and was shocked at how friendly and accomodating everyone was. They made it a seamless transition. The teachers and staff were amazing and the resources were up to date and useful. I had a great experience here!
