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 experiences here have been fun, being it is in a small town it helps keep the classes smaller and give a smaller town environment which is nice because it is easier for teachers to give a 1:1. Majority of the teachers also are parents that have children attend our school. It is a lot easier to have a conversation with a teacher about anything in Frederick compared to if it were a bigger school. The atmosphere of the school is so cool to be apart of being that it isn't very big either pretty much everyone knows everyone in the entire school.

The school's small size allows for more personal relationships with the teachers, so if you're interested in a particular subject, it's a lot easier to have a conversation about it. The downside of this is that there aren't enough teachers to cover all of the required subjects competently, resulting in situations like the P.E. teacher teaching world history or the science teacher teaching American history. There also aren't a lot of opportunities for more specialized classes, but the school makes up for it with programs that allow students to either go to other schools for specific classes, or to take different classes online. The school is respectable in that administration is always trying their best, even if I don't agree with everything they do. Another positive is that the school is focused on practicality and college readiness. Though, due to its size, the arts are somewhat neglected, the extra classes that are offered are practical and immediately useful within high school.
