This School’s Reviews

4.0 Junior

7/28/2025

Most of the teachers here are really nice and helpful towards the students. If you ever need help, you have multiple opportunities where you can go see them to ask them questions. The administrators are okay as some of them are super strict whereas the others aren't. We definitely do not have the best sports facilities, but we do get by.
