Great school! The only issue with it is a lack of school counselors, but that's an issue in the entire district, not just at this school. Staff is caring and dedicated to helping students succeed!

I have been to nine schools in four different states during my lifetime and am now a graduate of high school. I can proudly say that this school was by far the best and is overall a 5 out 5. I highly recommend sending your child here.
