The school does not necessarily do a great job of preparing students for college. It also doesn't offer adequate aid to students who aren't sure if college is the path for them.

From my 9th grade year to now my senior year i have seen both my self and the school grow.This is a school that really wants all of its students to succeed. With office hours and dress code you're prepared both for college and job opportunities. In this school there is no way you can fail with reassessment opportunities which is when you can take a test as many times as you need until you succeed.

This school is amazing. The teachers and staff really genuienly care for the well being of the children. They work so well with the students and strive to make sure your child reaches their educational potential. If your child need extra help, they have no problem putting in the extra hours to do so...
