Adequate classrooms for learning what they need, but older. Technology OK. No guidance counselor, although the administration is helpful with sending whatever is needed to colleges. Honors classes available. Tutoring available; I'm not sure how much. Lots of parent involvement.

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.

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.
