The Mountain Community School
This school was way to easy for me as a former student and although the teachers are very nice and will personalize your education , if you are an advanced student ( as I was) they will not provide you with a proper education. As you get sent off to high school from this school you are not prepared with all the skills that you would get at a public school and because there is only one 1 st 2 nd 3 rd 4 th 5 th 6 th 7 th and 8 th grade you don't have a lot of peers to make friends with only the people in your class . So if you are looking for a school and you have an intelligent , socilable, outgoing child this is not your school rugby middle school would be the best place for a person like that , if you have a child who needs extra help , a closed environment , and dosent have or need an advanced education than this is the place for you.
