This school is truly wonderful with facility and administration ready to prepare your student for the future. Easily having resources such as financial aid assistance for future education and opportunities to get community service hours students are able to make the most out of their highschool experience. The academics are also encouraged with dual enrollment and AICE classes available to students who want to challenge their learning.

The school has recently gotten rid of all AP classes so if you are looking to do AP then this school is probably not for you. Now they do offer a nice range of AICE AS level classes for those who are interested. The school overall has a decent selection of academics with multiple academies like firefighting, medical, and criminal justice. The largest downside of the school would be its administration who sometimes likes to rule with an iron fist.

I have two grandchildren attending; one graduating this year and the other is a freshmen. Both are being challenged academically and participating in sports. The senior has received several grants to assist her in college. The freshmen undoubtedly has a rewarding three years ahead.

If my daughter were starting over again, I would tell her to pick another school. That is my honest answer, for many reasons. Many of the teachers are very young, inexperienced, and chose favorites and it shows. This is not how it should be. My daughter use to love school.. used to.
