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.

Ignore all the parents here. I was a student for the class of 2026, and while there were more "political" issues discussed. It wasn't anything major and it did not detract from the overall education. Me and many of my classmates did very well in terms of college admission we sent about (20-25 to ivi...
