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 would say the school is pretty good. However the school should be more involved in the community of the students as many many fights and drama break out. Students also vandalize the bathrooms and such. But generally the education is okay, it should be more modern and financially sustainable but we do with what we can.

This is a great school but not the best. The teachers will help me achieve my goals in life that's for sure. But sadly, the students there made my freshman year not the best. I really like the school though
