They provide basic college prep courses. Because it is small, there are not a lot of electives. Some fantastic teachers, especially Mrs. Lacks, who teachers most of the science classes. Other popular teachers include Mrs. Amburgey, the Spanish teacher and Mr Nelson, senior high math. Students can take honors classes. Workload is not light, but not overwhelming.

The current administrator has been very good for the school. The dress code is reasonable. Plaid, kacki, navy or gray skirt, but only the plaid are expensive. For guys, any kacki pants. All wear polo shirts with the school logo. Communication is good; staff usually respond to questions same day. There is no full-time guidance counselor.

This is a small school with a few options if the students don't want to bring lunch from home. However, they do provide some variety in that you can get a salad, but they also offer some unhealthy choices(cheese sticks). It is a limited menu. Because it is a small school though, they do accomodate children with special food needs.
