I would highly suggest a private school.
South is not up to par with academics or behavior control. Its like a farm house out there, some teachers included.

I can name to you at least 30 people that had dropped out by the time i had graduated.

sorry for the bad news =(

Thanks so much for the info. I had heard basically the same. It almost cost us buying our home, but we love the island so much, and our son is an avid fisherman and didn't want to make a decision on where to live when he will be graduating in a few years. Best of luck to ya and keep on defending our little piece of heaven.
