The school isn't bad, a lot of the teachers are great and are really dedicated to helping the kids learn, but there could definitely be some improvements. I wish their was more music based programs offered even if we're a technology school for kids who have multiple interests.

Don't send your kids there. Your kid will suffer like mine did. Mine has to change his major in college just because he wasn't given physics and calculus in this school. Choose another Elizabeth school, but not this one. This is the worst.
