The school is pretty good overall and starts preparing you for college senior year. Should start preparing during junior year to help the kids understand everything better. The staff mostly backs up the teachers with more time at the school than students or new teachers. The food will suck depending on what is being served.

It is a very engaging school. Teachers and administration often encourage students to come out of their shells. People are all very unique and once put into a close-knit environment everyone is given a chance to shine. Many school activities are put together as a combination between the PTSA, Student Government, and administration. Overall, very good education and environment.

My experience has varied, though for the most part it has been a positive one. The education is on par with private schools despite being public, and the workload prepares students for college. I would like see more lax administration and policies regarding other things.

This school provides kids with a safe environment and access to some of the best teachers in the district. That said, the school has some major flaws that do not compensate for the benefits. First, the administration is disrespectful and ineffective in managing the school. The principle proudly excu...

The school for Hs is amazing and even if the students get assigned a-lot of work, it helps the students get prepared properly . The work given is not busy work that sometimes is given at other schools that at the end don’t help out the students but help them fail instead of teaching them properly ....
