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.

In terms of academics and teachers, this school is great. It is a difficult school with many projects and focus on teamwork, but it definitely prepares you for college. Having college classes along high school classes allows us to get an idea of what university will be like. I wish there was more diversity in my grade, but underclassmen seem to be more diverse. I wish we had more music and art classes as electives, but we can take them as college classes. Overall, it is a hard school, but you get used to it.
