We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The teachers at this school were fantastic. My english teacher went above and beyond to really make us think and broaden our thoughts. The quality of teachers were excellent.

I only went to this school my senior year and my teachers went out of their way to get to know me. I found that they were consistent graders and communicated effectively with all students.
