The best part of my experience has been the IB Diploma Program because I like challenging myself and it feels like it's preparing me for college. However, I would like there to be better teachers and more AP classes as well.

My experience at my school has mostly been positive; there's never really been a negative moment at this school. The best part of my experience is the bonding between students when it comes to becoming successful because I can relate to many of my friends and others when it comes to wanting the best for my future. The worst part is the low diversity. My entire time at the school I rarely see people from different parts of the world/cultures. I'd like to see a change in this and have the school became a school known as diverse so the students can have an eye opening environment to expose them to different cultures/races.

My personal experience has been good for the most part. As an honors student I was given the opportunities needed to excel in my classes and to hopefully further my education after high school.

Not the best school around, daughter wants to be home schooled next semester.
8/8/2018
My child is enrolled in the IB Program, and the level of dedication by the counselor and teachers is impressive. The students in this program are led by their teachers to become critical thinkers who are engaged in school.

Most of my experiences have been good, but other things have been completely uncalled for.
