It has been good so far, it has been a little rocky and overall it is really hard to become involved with extracurriculars and sports because they don't offer any. The teachers are good and they really prepare us for college but overall it was an ok experience.

The High School takes place on a college campus, so taking college classes is integrated into the high school, making it easy to take more advanced classes. It does come with some drawbacks however, like having no AP classes, and no specific interest elective classes that aren't offered by the college.
