Overall it has been a good experience with good academics and people. However, some of the AP classes I have taken were not taught well and had low passing rates.

This is a great school, with a great environment. My child loves going to school every day and is involved in most of the athletic teams. My younger child is also going there when finished with middle school. Nothing negative about this school.
