The school is small so there are few safety issues. The bathrooms could use some work but their working on it. They like to boast about being science and math-centered which is true but they could at least offer some science APs. They also don't offer the ACT or SAT.

I successfully completed my studies at this school in 2009, and it was an exceptional experience. The school boasted a friendly staff, a strong sense of community, and teachers who were truly attentive.
