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.

The best parts of my experience are the challenging classes I took over the years and had some amazing teachers who I respect and look up to. I also am an 4 sport athlete who loved playing sports and being part of a team. We have a great sports program as well. I would like to see a class incorporate real life experiences such as learning about loans, credit cards and banking.

Stay away from this school at all costs. Especially if you have any type of mental situation or disability that can effect your work ethic or how you learn. There's a complete lack of concern for people like us, to the point where they butter you up in guidance and tell you all these things that the...

Administration has a unofficial policy to ignore children with learning disabilities. It costs the district money to address those children and if your child is in the spectrum they will tell you its behavioral and your issue. If you no experience or knowledge in this area you would have no idea how...
