It is overall a safe and average high school experience. The students can receive a lot more help at this school due to the small classes.

I love how the teachers connect with each student. I would lobe to see more consequences on students who misbehave because they often let them slide.

Avalon, Catalina - my child was new and was terribly bullied by the local kids here, she is the sweetest nicest kid ever and these kids were awful, their parents awful, and the school did little to change things - do not send you kid here, spare them great cruelty
