This School’s Reviews

3.0 Senior

There are a lot of good parts but also a lot of bad parts. Recently, teachers who are egomaniacs have been hired, but there are still many good teachers I respect and look up to.

I personally did not enjoy the atmosphere at this school. Politics seemed to be a large part of the student body, and I personally had the opposite beliefs. This area is largely Democratic, and I felt that if I ever voiced my beliefs I would be shunned by students and some faculty.

The staff and faculty is what makes the school unique. Teachers here are genuinely invested in the wellbeing and academic success of their students.

There are little consequences for students actions no matter how severe. The teachers pressure students to participate in extracurricular activities so hard th...

If you're not from "around here" make sure you have good connections before relocating here. There is a very strong 'you're from here or you're not' sentiment throughout - students and staff. Typical small town clicks and power bullies keep administrators busy. Academics are typical small tourist to...
