The biggest strength of this school is its athletic program and parental involvement. The weakness is the lack of diversity.

Our schools a variety of clubs for students to participate in. These clubs are well organized with a school sponsor to oversee the groups. Students can participate in fun activities that the sponsor organizes. The administration is very supportive of students at our school and work hard to make sure that all students learn and succeed.
