Great school, teachers are good, students are nice. Worst part is the kids who vape. Sports is really good.
8/3/2025
The schools offerings in AP and ACA/IB are incredibly robust. The diversity at the school is slightly lacking, however we have very few incidents concerning it. Although the ones we have had were large and dealt with promptly. Overall a great school to attend.
1/16/2025
Overall, some of the best parts of my experience come from connecting with peers through the associate's degree program. To be put ahead in my college career has benefitted me. The worst parts have been how admin does not handle most things as they should. I would like to see qualified administrators be appointed to improve the environment.

The teachers there are phenomenal. They are very understanding, respectful, caring, informative, and are always on top of their students grades. The SROs (student resource officers) are extremely funny and very kind. However, disciplinary actions at this school are becoming unfair and unreasonable....
