This School’s Reviews

2.0 Senior

3/31/2023

It's a very small school, kinda reminds me of my elementary school. Long distance from home. And for some reason not a lot of colleges have heard of the school. But they edge the students to go to college even if they want to or not.

3.0 Freshman

12/27/2022

I like how everyone is comfortable with each other like family. The school work is not hard but we do learn a lot. Their freshman classes are overall very fun. They only lack more clubs/activities and celebrating other cultures.

3.0 Junior

4/21/2021

My experience is very good.I like that the school leaves no student behind in their studies.They can do better at organizing the Driver's Ed courses for the juniors.
