We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I enjoyed it. Being part of the extracurriculars was very fun, and school pride was very high. Moreover, the school does a lot to prepare students for graduation and beyond. School food wasn't great, but the rest of the school was well taken care of.

A very welcoming school. One thing I would like to change would be the way some teacher's go about there class.

The high school is very open to people coming and going. It's brilliant however and full of nerds. I wouldn't go if your main thing is sports because, for example, JV girl's Soccer second is 0-0-14. The food is fine and it's good for ESL and ethnic people. It's very nice and well-kept but you should at least be average grade wise or you will most likely flunk out.

Also, there are a wide range of AP and other courses that will help all these kids be prepared for life after school. Parents must stay involved in the academic ch...
