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.

The academics at our school have increased tremendously in the last couple of years. We are offered AP courses and almost all classes are CP.

Our school does not include changes in racial diversity but there are occasions where peer pressure comes in to play.
