The faculty are very engaged with the students, as well as enforcement of rules. They have wide involvement opportunities, including sports teams which many junior high schools do not have. Very structured and supportive environment.

Terrible experience. Constant bullying by students and staff. The teachers don’t care if they belittle you while trying to discipline you. And if you’re not a family they are familiar with, you get treated like an outsider. They have their favorites and those kids get away everything, including brea...
