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.

There are some very good things and there are some very bad things. The building itself is in very good condition. The technology has its ups and downs. We need new laptops. Our counselor helps us a lot with almost everything.

My school is not a bad school at all, but it does need help with student active lessons. This school is great on communication and special programs to help with student needs.
