The school has an excellent band teacher and offers a lot of college prep courses. If having a good football team with good coaches is your gauge to whether or not a school is good then I can see why someone would give it 2 stars. What I care about is a good learning environment with the opportunity to earn some college credits while in school and this school does that better than most smaller schools.

The high school football coaches are horrible. They haven't won a game since new coaches took over.
