Great Leadership at this school and all of the Desoto County Schools. The teachers and faculty actually care about their students and it really shows. The building is nice, and the athletic fields are in great shape. Every year I see multiple students in the newspaper for scoring 30+ on their ACT.

This school sucks, the lunch doesn’t have enough chicken and meat. The mandarin chicken is good though, more of that. The some teachers have SERIOUSLY BAD attitudes. The leadership is ineffective.

Lazy and play with grades, the teachers don’t like to get parents involved.

The teachers lie and the principle is wrong about life goals

When a student is being bullied the teachers just sit back and watch, the only people who do anything are the principles.

There are very few good teachers at this school. The new teachers are clueless and the administration is in denial about their lack of teaching ability. Administration was told to hire first year teachers because it saves the district money. My daughter has an English teacher who does not speak correct English! She gives a bunch of easy grades but when it comes to the practice test for the "state test." hardly any of them pass it. The teacher does not know how to teach what is on it. When you try to discuss this with administration they just tell you what supposed qualifications the teacher has and let you know there is nothing you can do about it. If you can afford a private school, send your child there!

This school is only as good as the principal, vice principal and teachers. I give all a big fat F! These people are in need of serious retraining when it comes to treating all students the same. I would never recommend this high school for any student. I would rater work 3 jobs to put my children in a private school!

I went here for two years and my brother went here for three years. The school is lacking in a lot of things. The principal was great, and the assistant principals, all except the lady one, were good. Some teacher were bad, but if you are in AP, they are excellent.
