(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This little school is the perfect example of what small town schools can turn into if ran by uneducated rednecks. My children were so let down and teased by not only the other students but the teachers as well that we had to move. I do not suggest that anyone put there kids in this school and if they are there now I suggest that you send them to private school or move out of the district.
