this is the worst school over in the Polk and Wheatland area. No homework is never given, teachers try to put the blame on the parents instead of themselves or the school district. When they fired 15 or 16 teachers because of the budget they did not think about how it would hurt the kids which it did hurt them by the kids being use to the teachers but ended up putting 40 students in a class
