I enjoyed the high school a lot and I had a good quality education and safe and great learning environment
10/7/2023
As an engineering student, I cannot speak on some parts of the school, but my experience in the PLTW program has been amazing. The teachers are passionate, helpful, and easy to talk to. The resources to help prepare for college are amazing, and I always have someone to go to if I have questions
