(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - The previous rating was from me. I did not select 5/5, but rather did not select at all. It automatically entered 5/5. If you care for your kid at all, do not send them there!

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This has to be the worst school in the state of Kansas. The staff lets the kids run the school. They allow the kids to leave w/o parent signature. I can't tell you how many times my child was given permission by their staff to leave the campus before the end of the school day w/o notice to me. Worst of all the principal refuses to give anyone a special transfer. My 9th grader is doing math that my 6th grader is doing. History class counts the test scores as 10% of their overall grade b/c "kids are not interested in History and therefore we cannot expect them to test well". I am ready to move out of the district to give my kids the education that she deserves!
