I enjoyed my time here at the Prep. I transferred in for my junior year and it's extremely nice here, everyone pushes you to be better, and the extracurriculars are amazing. The best part for me was playing high-level football and the worst was pulling all-nighters to study for 4 tests in a single day. I'd like to see more scholarships go to deserving students to increase diversity as well.

My experience at the Prep has been nothing but positive. Even though the school is located in a bad neighborhood, the teachers and administrators have made me feel safe and well educated. It is a great school and definitely worth the money. The elevated curriculum has prepared me for college. Not only is the school amazing so is their sport programs.

I had two sons and 2 nephews who graduated from the Prep. I have another son going there this year. Both of my sons and nephews who graduated got into top tier colleges and are on track to get top tier jobs. The son who I have at the Prep right now is very shy, and did not want to go to the prep and...
