It is a pretty great school overall the sad thing is it does not have many sport opportunities. You can really feel the interconnectedness of the school and the teachers really care about the students. Since the school was built recently it has pretty knew end technology which is amazing.

My teachers have always been very helpful to me. If i seem to struggle they would make themselves available to help me or give me ideas. All of the people in the office from the principal to the secretaries are very kind and helpful as well. It's a safe school to be in for the most part because we don't have the issues with violence like other schools.

Yes it is true if you child wants to do well they will. But, that being said, I feel that the school is not great.
