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.

Overall the school is clean and tidy. There are many clubs and activities to choose from and leadership opportunities. Many APs are offered though there are some that I wish were offered. For dual enrollment, the school takes half the cost which makes it much easier to pay for the class.
