We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I'd like to see more options and information for students not going the traditional college route. Teachers are overall pretty good and work with you. Athletics are pretty competitive and the cafe is awesome.

Pretty good school! I enjoyed my time there as much as I could (even with the COVID pandemic impacting much of my time there). I made friends pretty easily as well as getting the support I needed from the teachers and staff.
