My experience here was actually pretty good. I say that they give you a lot of real world experience and open you up to a lot of opportunities and things that you would've never even thought about especially being a high school student. It definitely gets you career ready or close to career ready, so therefore, when you go to college, you have some sort of idea of what you want to do

At first when I saw how people were so bored at this school I didn't think it was for me. But as soon as I went there and experience my first 6 months as a freshman I thought it was really cool how students are so active and eager to learn and attempt challenges. It's just the backlash from the media that gives this school a bad rating which sadly some of those comments are true but this school is a start since it's not even 10 years old yet.
