This school has gone down hill fast. They do nothing to prepare for college and are zero help. There are only a few good teachers left. The administration needs to be replaced and a focus on in district kids to get more support from the community. I would not be shocked if this school is closed in the next 5 years. It is sad really it use to be one of the best in Jackson county but the arrogant ass running it now has no clue and wouldn't even let him teach gym let alone run a district.
