Really great experience I couldn't have enjoyed it more at Science Skills Center I made some good friends and enjoyed the Martial Arts classes
7/1/2024
Alright, first off this school was an amazing opportunity for me to grow my skills within engineering, they didn't have many athletic opportunities, but a lot of schools don't have any at all. This school had many programs for me to choose from and the amount of AP courses I am able to take changed the game for me, Overall this school is amazing and I enjoyed my time.

Perfect school I truly had enjoyed my time there and I hope many people come and enjoy the college and career opportunities this school provides
