I absolutely love this school. There is always something great happening and always has lots of student interaction which is so nice. I feel like I fit best here!
3/30/2025
My overall high school experience has been a pretty decent one, every year they placed me in classes that did somewhat challenge me and i think that's great and Im glad i got to learn and experience so much.

The best part was the AP classes. They were engaging and fun. The administration and lack of clubs was the worst.
