The best parts of my experience is that the school has good teachers that are good at their jobs and helpful to students. The worst parts of it could be the school culture, it just isn't an environment that encourages you to try (by that I mean the students).

I am a current sophomore student at the Public Safety Academy, attending since the 5th grade. This school has shaped me into the person I am today. Between the rigorous academics, the inviting and experienced teachers, and the closely knit student relationships, this school has prepared me for me and my peers futures better than any other school would.

I liked that it is an environment with little to no distractions which makes it easy to learn. What I would like to see change is that amount of classes available to high schoolers because there aren't many options.

There are high expectations and little room for error, however I’ve found it pushed me to be a better student. Some of the staff can be a bit rude, and I have heard them gossiping about students. Academic wise it is a great school that pushes students to be their best and succeed as much as possible...

The staff is rude, expectations are unrealistic, and teachers are discouraging. There is little to no room for error during morning formation, and punishments are to harsh in my opinion. Wouldn't recommend.
