I've had really incredible experiences with teachers here. It's a very progressive school and all teachers are very respectful. I've been able to succeed in nearly all my classes because every teacher I've had here teaches well.

I would more diversity in the teaching pool. Otherwise it can be a fun 4 years with your friends. Some teachers are willing to help. The use of Chromebooks it seems makes the teachers rely more on the internet.

I loved the PLTW program, some of the staff, and extra programs offered. What I feel can be changed is some policies, staffing racists teachers, etc
