Honestly there isn't anything that I myself don't like about Prep. The school is build upon the foundation of being a community, and always being the best version of yourself. That's what makes Prep so special to those currently studying here and graduates. I am the third family member to attend Prep and I wouldn't want it any other way. The teachers are always there to help by offering extra help in the area a student is currently struggling in. There are also a writing center as well as a math center to help students understand the material. "High school is 4 years Prep if forever."

If you call with a complaint, the administration acts like it's your fault and you're crazy. In retrospect, I never would have sent my child there, being surrounded by...
