Overall, my experience was decent. I had a lot of struggles because when I went, it was not as diverse. That being said, I biracial and received many issues from other students due to my skin color. Other than that, I genuinely enjoyed the school.

It is very good academic-wise. All the students are well-driven with their studies and all excel in all aspects. They offer a decent amount of sports and clubs as well to the students so that we are exposed to a diversity of extracurriculars. We are offered with many opportunities here and the staff only want the best for us. I just wish they would help prepare us, Juniors, better for the college process. Including applications, essays, and scholarships like this one.

I love the Advanced placement program and how it allowed people to get ahead in their education. One thing I am not a fan of is constant changes in the schedule by the administration.
