This is not a really bad school. It needs a really good principal who can hire really good teachers. The district needs to pay teachers at a public salary so more qualified teachers will apply here, and it needs to rebuild the school into a decent looking "school setting" so everyone will be proud that they attend and work at a REAL school. Students want to learn and they enjoy the safety of this small school setting. Students should also be selected carefully for a genuine purpose to pursue an education, and they shouldn't be "kept" for enrollment purposes. Everyone is aware of this.
