(Rating: 3 / 5) Report As Inappropriate - This is ok, it's definitly not the best school in the county, but it's alright. I have to say I loved my 7th grade year at Shafer, the teachers were wonderful, and I met some really cool people. I was on 7a and it was the best. I miss Mr.Massaroni so much, he was awesome. He was a really great guy
