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.

I love the clubs and sports that they offer, it gives an opportunity to meet new people and to enhance our skills. I would like to see a food system change and better service in the cafeteria such as greeting kids and making sure that they are fed. I would also like to see better resources that way we have more chances of learning.

Good honors program, and IB. Excellent teachers especially Mr.Snow the IB coordinator and my world history teacher. He has conversations with us to help us better understand what he is teaching. There are a lot of great teachers, while some just don't try.
