This school is a great high school for getting prepared for college. The ratio of college counselors to students is around 30-36 to 1 which is fantastic. The teacher are amazing at this school. But the sports and the traditional high school culture is not really there. This school is geared more towards academics.

Such a great school. The teachers are amazing, the facilities are world class, and my kids love it. The classes are small so kids get to do real discussions, labs, and projects...no more just having to listen to lectures. We have found the coaches and teams are also great. Such a great school!
