This school is awesome and has changed my daughter's life. I will be sending all my kids to this school when they are old enough. The class room sizes are small so there is more one on one time with each teacher. The teachers are awesome and they care about each and every student.

It is a really good school where you learn through internships which they abbreviate it to LTI. I have already had 4 internships while still in high school. The math classes need to be better.

I used to go to this school in 7th grade and I had a really bad experience. The tests scores are some of the worst in the state and there is no high school credit in middle school. Unlike other middle schools at this school there is no band and there are very few elective choices. There are very few teachers and they pay way too much attention to each student and you stay in one room all day which is like elementary and not middle school. This is why I would rate it one star.
