I have been to two separate schools in my life, while the people here are mediocre at the very least I would advise to look elsewhere for sufficient education.
5 2/11/2020
Lenore PK-8 is among the best in Mingo County. They have always went above and beyond for my child.
2 10/26/2016
Out of all the school's I've been to, this is the least interesting. I makes me dread waking up on school days, and the kids that go there are pretty mean. Definitely stay away if your kid is not straight, white, or cis.
