We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I've had an overall good few years at Somerset. The people there are not the best to be friends with but the education is better than the public schools in the area. There has been an issue with a lot of the staff, which has effects the learning environment. But I was able to take college class to learn better and not take stupid filler classes at the school.

It's a really good school to go to especially to get you prepared for college. It's allows opportunities for things your never even heard of and a great amount of learning opportunities.

Mrs. Rains specifically (the principle) is incredibly disrespectful to students, staff, and parents. And God forbid you need to get in contact with administration about anything. They do not r...
