This is one of the great schools in all over USA . I am glad that I could make it to this . All the students surrounded by me are very talented and high achieving kids . This will be a plus to help or motivated seeing each other and challenging at the same time . Teachers are phenomenal and supportive to help and validate every idea you bring in . As this is STEM based, prepares you well for the college and own your responsibilities . You can gain as much as we want from the school, not any less. Over all its 10/10 I can say ! Glad to be part of this school and Good Luck for all .

The only complaint I'd have is that the counselors seem somewhat unequipped to handle the mental health problems the school can cause.
