We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The school is overall amazing great staff everyone's really helpful especially the office and the counselors office. I really enjoyed my time at school. All the teachers are really helpful towards me and anytime they always had that teacher that was always like a third parent to me and the school traditions and activities were also really amazing and it would be nice for future people to go there to really be more active with what the school has. The principal is really really amazing

For example: My child was assaulted IN...
