I have gone to this school for six years and it has been a great experience. The school overall is fantastic with preparing us for college and the teachers are great. The higher level of rigor in each class helps us students to be set apart from kids from other schools when applying to colleges.

Providence is a Christian school where God is first. Their academics are extremely good, and the teachers genuinely care about everyone. I am personally the captain of the robotics team, and I can confidently say that we have no lack of resources. I highly recommend this school to anyone who is considering it.
