The school is great for children who wants to purse science and tech. They don't have that many sports for them but they can and will cater to those who want to purse sports. They are very strict when it comes to staying on top of work. They call and do weekly check ins.

It's a good school for engineering but it's not very safe. The school itself has many offers for kids that have major dreams but improvement is needed.
