This school is a mixed bag, theres wonderful things and plenty to work on at the same time, I adore the arts program, and the oppertunities in the life sciences have been amazing for me.

Excellent autism support teacher. She works with the students according to their abilities. As well, she aids students with getting the most beneficial curriculum possible. It is difficult to communicate with teachers due to lack of 1:1. Not enough teachers.

It's an average school. There are a lot of problematic kids, but if you stay in the more rigorous courses you can avoid most problematic behavior. The building itself should really be replaced, it's a very old school and things break a lot. There are some great teachers here.
