(2 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - this school is going down hill the sports program is bad and getting worse the lack of school sprit is to blame. the art and music program aren't there. the teachers and administrators are conserned only with the dress code. it almost makes the students sick with all the yelling and fussing the staff puts on the students it is not a happy school like it use to be.

- The school has gone down hill. They are trying to turn it into a prep school. But it is a country shool and always should be. They need to get rid of the ones trying to prep the school and bring someone in who knows what the school should stand for.
