Overall it is a great school. The main issues being the overwhelming amount of students. The worst part for me is the district not equally disturbing the funds to each department of education or electives.
5/23/2024
Started during COVID 19, so entering school after year was a major change but I alway keep striving. Best part is having group wonderful teachers and counselor with open door policy made a great difference with my education. Worse part driving 50 miles a day but was worth the drive. Changes I will like to see is making more diverse with kids with minor disabilities and more understanding

This school is very different from what it used to be! As a dedicated magnet for all advanced studies, the entire atmosphere is one of positive enthusiastic learning. Students learn a lot, but have a great time doing it. I encourage everyone to take a tour to check it out.
