The teachers at this school overall do rather well with the grading, and making sure students keep up with their credits. If students don't show up for appointments with their teachers, the teachers call home and make sure the student reschedules. After too many missed days they will reconsider the way the student is receiving their education.

There's a leadership class available to all students that is actually very involved. For people that aren't very social there is rarely any sort of peer pressure or involvement in bad conduct.
