This school offers numerous courses to take and allows students to explore their interests through clubs, sports, and classes. Some downsides are the lack of diversity, organization, and communication throughout the school.

This was a very welcoming school and was full of many different opportunities and extracurriculars involved. However, college prep wasn't the best and trying to contact the faculty for specific resources was often difficult and school organized events were often out of order. Overall a good school.

They have some nice statements in their Mission, Values and Beliefs but they don't back that up with their actions. Still a backward narrowminded school that does not care about students. Lack of transparency with decisions. Not student-centered.
