Although I have been in this school for 2 years I am about to graduate and it's an open community where you can do your best. It's tough with academics but it pushes you to be the best you can be. The positive aspect is that you're getting a good education. The worst part is it has no sports but you can still be in clubs. Some girls are supportive but you can find people who you care about
