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.

Overall, I feel safe at school. Teachers are invested in my academic success and overall well-being. Administration has changed recently. Our climate is improving. There has been a reduction in course offerings over the past two years due to construction and staff being split between two buildings.

My experience has been positive overall. The school is good at making sure students receive the support they need. However, there is not always good communication about what is happening with sports and extracurriculars. Teachers are also allowed to take on more than they can handle which has a negative impact on the students learning.
