The leadership, parent-teacher communication, and intervention is above expectation. Loxley is a small community where the staff knows each students and works to accommodate their individual needs.

Small town with a small school. Everyone knows everyone. The school has a rich history and great athletics. As with any school, the students can get as much out of it as they put into it
