I have really enjoyed going to this school. However, some of the staff does not care about the students and should not have a job in teaching. The sports, specifically the football team, is not great. The basketball teams (both boys and girls) and volleyball team are all great. The academics are good. There are 4 different routes you could go academically you could go into the regular, honor, IB, and UA programs.
