It is a welcoming place with a goal of helping the students grow and become adults. With the school of innovation, students were given opportunities that are specialized just for their needs. Also, teachers as well as students, are all open to helping each other out in any way they can.

The school overall isn't as bad as they say it is. Although it seems the administration flips over petty things and ignores big deals like harassment or bullying. The academics aren't bad, but 9th grade algebra 1 doesn't have enough books for students to take home. There is great week round math tutoring though. The sports teams are excellent. The clubs though there aren't many. School culture I don't know.

I would choose this school again because they have been ranked in the top 10% of most academically challenging. Everyone is super nice and it's really easy for new people to fit in.
