School Reviews
5 9/24/2016
I have done a lot of research about this school and know almost all of the 50s-2016 and must say, I DO NOT agree with any of the new technology that has taken over this small school over the years. I do not think that the school board is properly selected for dealing with children and/or solving problems. They are also poor choices if you wish to keep confidentiality. These are just my views and did not post this to influence any decisions made. Thank you.
