Almost all of the teachers want to catch kids vaping. I was in the bathroom minding my business when a teacher comes in and makes everyone in the bathroom leave and he takes us to the office where they questioned, searched us, and I missed my whole assignment for that day and now it's going to be counted later.

Overall, the district is flawed from the top, down. With the exception of a few hand-selected parents, the R-8 has done everything to reduce parental roles in their childs educations. New schools are not well located, and the misuse of existing assets is mind-numbing. Bear in mind that there are some great teachers in the district, but they are mis-handled by incompetent administration.
