This School’s Reviews

5.0 Alum

8/13/2025

Overall my high school experience was great. I feel like I balanced taking school serious and also having fun pretty well. The best part of high school was the different classes we had available. I loved taking business related classes at our Tech Center and I also loved Unified PE with the special needs students. If I could change one thing about my high school it would have been togetherness. Majority of students only talked to their social groups and now I find that weird because majority of my friends from college we wouldn't have liked each other in high school.

My school has become a wonderful school. The teachers are great at teaching academics and following through on their instructions. I have yet to find a teacher at my school to be non-honorable. Huge facility with almost all the programs you can think of. We have wonderful coaches and great sport teams, along with huge variety of sport choices.
