2/9/2025
My High School is a blue ribbon school and very proactive. Lots of student energy and school spirit all around.
10/15/2024
ASB and BTC work hard to involve the student body. This leads to extremely fun sports games and school activities. Not to mention that the sports teams are typically very successful in their games and win often. The school is very sport oriented and includes people who do not play sports by encouraging them to come and watch. As for academics, they are not as rigorous as one would hope for. The teachers are involved and do want their students to do well.

I am very grateful to all the teachers, administrators and support staff for everything they've done for me.

Both schools are great for different reasons. Many parents and students tout the block schedule and...
