Small school so lots of one-on-one time with teachers. I knew everybody in my entire High School, with less than 200 students enrolled. As far as sports and clubs go, anybody could participate in anything. There weren't really any "cuts". There are lots of opportunities for students in a smaller school. The Drama program is awesome, and all are welcome to join.
