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.

I have a a good experience throughout my highschool career, and they were very helpful when I lost my mother, that is probably the best part. The worst would just be Covid era. I would just like to see some new classes offered and full classrooms again.
