The experience wasn't bad but could be better. I like how they try their best to get you ready for college especially. As an athlete, i wish we could do better with coaching and facilities.

It has had its ups and downs but I truly believe that this is one of the best schools there is. The support here is outstanding and the possibilities are endless. You can pretty much do whatever you desire, They will provide the class and help you get to the point you want to be at. At one point I was struggling at the school but my teacher and counselor helped me in every way I could. I couldn't be more grateful.
