The sports program is well funded however not very successful. The music and arts program puts out great performances with both art shows and music concerts. They also put out big musical shows that are fantastic. The math and science departments have very dedicated teachers that are very knowledgeable and set up students to enter stem fields including but not limited to mathematic and engineering.

It would be nice to see the administration focus more on mental health, and woman sports programs. They were supportive on an individual or group interest regarding clubs

The school was nice, most faculty members were kind. They had a lot of options for electives but there wasn't that much diversity in the school in terms of people and some of their rules didn't make any sense

The staff here brainwashes your children into believing their political stances. They illegally and disruptively bring their political propaganda into the classrooms, these children look up to their teachers and are being trusted to teach unbiasedly and properly. This school needs to shut down or ch...

This place is a joke. My child was recently assaulted by another student, I found out after the fact when he came home. I can’t even get anyone in charge on the phone to find out anything about the situation or to speak with someone. When I get reception on the phone they accuse me right off the bat...
