This school is not up to par as far as education. Their quality of curriculum and quality of educators is poor. Teachers do not seem to care about the student's education and they do not provide an enriching or quality education. Teachers are not typically willing to help answers student's questions. The overall culture and moral of the the school is poor. Students and teachers are both not excited to be there and their is little to no diversity.

A good portion of the staff also graduated from that school and have effectively continued this “click” culture with their own children now attending the school. It would be nice to see more diversi...

My experience at this school was fantastic. I learned a lot about school, people, and life. I never had issues with other students, teachers, or other faculty because everyone there is wonderful.
