Ben c rain high school is a great school. Many may think otherwise because of the location, but I've had an amazing time while attending. While attending rain I've gotten opportunities to meet new people, communicate wit different colleges, and participate in airbus and get offered a job right after I graduated. Sending your kid to ben c rain high school would be one of the best decisions you could ever make.
