It was a great community full of many different activities for whatever people are interested in. The school is very focused on allowing students to succeed, even if they are in extra circulars.

Needed a better evaluation of teachers, some were clearly just there to clock in and out, and did not care about if students actually took anything away from the class. Also needed more college courses and a more diverse elective selection.

Most teachers just do what they have to. There are only a few teachers who seem to truly care about you, your well-being and who are willing to help you if you are struggling.
