The school is pretty average, the food is edible, the floors are clean, I learn a lot from my classes. the problem is curtain sports get funded more than others and students are fighting like 1 a month. if you actually try to get a education here you will succeed, if you arent teachers will help you especially if you're trying.

Brand new school that our son attends. The teachers are dedicated. The curriculum is also strong. History and Literature are particularly strong. Math is excellent for my child who never liked math previously but now does. Would highly recommend this school.
