This School’s Reviews

4.0 Senior

3/12/2025

Its overall a good school. The teachers and facility are for the most part helpful and try to actually teach you, there are some exceptions. There are many clubs and sports I haven't participated in any so I can't really attest to their quality but from friends and my peers they seem good. It has lots of funding and supports students academically and with extra-curriculars.
