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.

It's not a terrible school by any means, and there are real benefits to being here, especially if you're passionate about STEM. But it often feels like the school focuses more on academics and reputation than on making the experience enjoyable or well-rounded. It's "fine," but I feel like it could be so much better with a bit more balance and effort in fostering a supportive and engaging environment.

The teachers at this school are great and so are the things they teach. Every class that is offered here is based around IT and computer science in some way and there's also many different computer science classes available for all students to take.

Throughout my years in IT I have encountered many new experiences to learn by and reliable people, at first I was very shy since it was a new place but the adaptability to the place is very paced and not rushed from the assignments and teachers are also very helpful.
