Overall I have had a very positive experience at my school. My teachers have all been really supportive and I have had lots of opportunities to participate in a variety of extracurriculars. The worst part for me would be that the staff loves to talk to the were many long and unnecessary speeches

Our daughter was enrolled in a private middle school in Hampton, which provides an amazing education however the overt pressure from politics was suffocating. Therefore, we put a great deal of consideration into our high school search. We toured PEA, Gov’s...
