School Reviews

The quality of academics is poor and behind schedule. This school doesn't even come close to other area school districts. The music program is fair but the art program is very much nonexistent. Sports are pushed but not the sports players' grades. If you live in this area just go to Hickory High School, like I ended up doing.
