It's a good school but it lacks school spirit. It seems like they try so hard for students to do well that they end up pushing students into not doing well and on top of that it's facilities are small and cramped, not enough actives and clubs are offered, sports teams are not good, teachers are under qualified, and there aren't many electives.

This highschool is a great option for students who are interested strictly in academics. They offer a wide variety of honors and AP courses. However, there is a lack of music and art classes. Recently, they have adopted a film class, which is a step in the right direction. The faculty is very involved with their students and supportive of their dreams. The sports in this school are not funded, but when you have people who really care, they will find a way to make it work.

At first, the school was really good but when the new office staff showed up, it went downhill really quick. The vice principal is rude and has no manners. I recall on a dress down day, the staff asked the girls to lift up their shirts for whatever reason but they let the guys in just fine. That day...

The school gets worse by the year. My friends and I liked it when we were in middle school. Now there is no school spirit, partly because we aren’t allowed to do anything. All the principal cares about is testing and scores and he treats us like we are just numbers in a system. The security guards g...
