While I was attending this school(for the past few years), I met a lot of great teachers and people. Their education system is wonderful too. The problem is that they lack a variety of specials, electives (or whatever you'd like to call them). For example, they do not have art classes(at least when I was there) and I was truly deprived of my passion. Fortunately, they do have music, computers, physical education (PE), and library. I recommend this school on their education system of the basic subjects(math, reading, science, etc.). So if you are looking for a school strong in all aspects, including the arts, I advise not suggesting this one.
Ok now this is for when I went there. On a Educational basis this school is way to basic. In fact this schools faculty when I attended didn't care for the students at all. They had cool electives from when I went, Electronics, Wood Shop, Art, P.E and Library. Now in most states or cities Libraries is a place not a Class. The food that the children ate here gave them food poisoning on more than one Occasion. The people that handled the food did not care to properly store the food or make sure there hands were clean.
A lot of favoritism happens here amongst the teachers and students. I can go on and on till im blue in the face as to why this school is really crappy.
The only reason why I gave it a D- is because it's in a convenient location. I would suggest home schooling your child if you move to Golden Valley or Kingman.
