Amazing academic school with tons of clubs and ways to get involved, school culture strong, supportive teachers and administration, poor sports.

The school definitely pushes you to your limits academically. If you don't really want to go or your parents are pushing you to go, you will probably drop out or be miserable.

However, I think the school has taught me how to keep a schedule which will be important in college as well as to prioritize my mental and emotional health.

Overall, I love this school! Its one of the best schools in the US and it has everything you would want to see in a great school. If you decide to go here, keep in mind that the homework load is to the extremes and work in general is very very hard. You have to learn a lot by your self but if you ar...
