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.

Shen is overall a good school. The teachers can definitely make or break your highschool experience. Our school has a lot of clubs and sports to choose from and if there's a club you'd like that doesn't exist then you can create one.

The worst part is the kids vaping in the bathrooms, but the best part is the connections you make. I have met my best friends through school.
