Overall it was pretty good, nothing too bad or too good to comment on. The staff and teachers are nice and very helpful when it comes to extract help needed. The really work with you to make sure you pass and it is very much one on one with them. The school is very diverse and it's a pretty small community.

This school is a disservice to students of all abilities and backgrounds, especially those with disabilities. They have limited special education services and lack the trained staff to assist.
