If you have any problems with your mental health do not go here the high school iep teacher is great but me and many other students that dealt with the middle school iep teacher had extremely bad experiences with her whenever i was having a panic attack in school which was almost daily her plan was to completely ignore me if i tried to talk to them they would act as if I wasn't there because to them i had bad behavior problems and i was faking panic attacks so i could go home staff don't seem to care about students getting bullied a student threw scissors at my friends head and all they did was separate their seats obviously this did nothing they kept harassing my friend from what i know the school did absolutely nothing to stop him I do my schooling online and go into school for around half the day I do not like this school but they do have an amazing band and art teacher most of the elective teachers are nice but especially those two and the high school iep teacher is really helpful

This school provided a unique High school experience, but not the best. There is very little diversity and no clubs other than the highly valued sports. If you're not an athlete, there's barely any ways to become involved in extracurriculars.

I enjoyed my time here. The teachers were highly involved in student education due to how small the school was.
