8/23/2017

Overall academics are good. Not worth the unhealthy, stifling, hyper-Christian environment. I was told not to talk about beer and my brother was preached at in Bible class almost exclusively about Hell. Kids were awful in jr high, leadership was worse. Would not wish my experience on any kid.

For our four kids we could not have picked a more nurturing, caring, loving school. Staff and teachers truly and genuinely invest in the students and care for them. Education is top notch, all four of our kids went on to high school placing in all honors classes and pulling straight A’s.
