We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

A large majority of the staff was warm and kind. I had medical issues during my senior year and they worked with me to help me succeed.

The best part is that some of the teachers are nice, but thats if you get them. The worst is almost everything else their school lets kids do what ever they want, becasue they cant control them.

Bullying issues, kids are not treated as equals...Zero communication from administrative personnel to parents. Also, a good amount of kiddos lost a peer and a friend to an unfortunate tragedy this summer and NOT ONE email or open door from any of the HS counselors there for these kids!! Ridiculous.....
