I was hoping that moving to a smaller school the kids would have more opportunity to be involved in the activities, but you can still see the favorites, or if you have money or the right name you may get more opportunities. Overall the school is great not sure you can get away from this in any school unfortunately.

The school is small so everyone knows everyone. It is great when something is wrong because there are always people ready to help and wanted to make sure that you are okay. The students here are great and the teachers are so willing to help when ever it is needed. The overall experience is just great and i have enjoyed every year here. The school spirit is just amazing to see how much these people love the school. I honestly wouldn't want to go any where else.
