There are many good communities and teachers on campus but the facilities could use work. Not being in certain programs might limit your opportunities for a few specific things.

Their IB program is truly elite. The teachers are nothing special, baring 3-4 standouts which are world class (have won awards), but the quality of students in the program will elevate almost anyone. Smarter students in high school than almost any university or college.

There aren't too many high schools where you can experience a diverse student body combined with a strong academic program that allows access to ALL students. Amazing teachers, quality athletics, amazing clubs, and a strong instrumental music program. The drama program and school newspaper are the o...
