We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

As a graduating senior who as attending this school since sixth grade, I can say with confidence it is the greatest alternative to any other kind of school.

The only bad part are the school lunches; it's like 4-5 dollars per lunch and it barely fills you up.

This school has helped me learn way better. We do more hands-on activities, and team projects. At first, I was forced to apply, but now that I'm a student there, I'm glad I did!
