We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My time at Minor high school has been a decent experience. When I joined the band that's was the best decision I could have made. But the worst part of this school was student involvement you see the same kids in multiple different extracurricular activities. One thing I would love to see change is the participation rate in our student and faculty.

The seniors trash the place every year on home coming, those kids are evil. Do not recommend for quiet students. They'll act like they're non existent, this pertains to teachers too. Do not recommend for mature students as they won't fit in with the others. My child had to be taken out.
