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 like how the teachers cared about the well-being of students and the counselors really cared about where students planned to go or do after graduating, they want to make sure you are set knowing where you want to go.

The staff are great, students are just horrible, I am a senior and my experience was pretty bland, of course the staff put in effort to connect to the students, the students just do not care
