The school is pretty small and doesn't have as much variety as other schools when it comes to classes. On the other hand, the school teaches all honor classes in order to push students more.

Honestly, the school is "okay". The administration recently got better since we got a new principal and we have minor improvements with the curriculum but overall the atmosphere is kinda negative with other students especially if your a "unpopular" kid who doesn't fit in. They don't offer AP Classes which is extremely annoying as-well.

its a very diverse place with a good educational learning system and a lot of things for people to be involved in. I would recommend it to anyone who's interested in the arts or just great opportunities to learn.

Very bad school with no disipline. They make it seem nice and fancy but it is actually terrible. Most of the teachers hate their jobs and don't care about the students. I learned very little in the time that I went here. The principal of the school is constantly changing which is likely the cause of...
