Great school if you're ready for a lot of work and college prep. Definitely a great school for college prep.

9/25/2023

Highly abusive to students. Upper staff encourages racism, claiming they don't "cater to tokenism." Faculty does not listen to students, and fires any staff that stands up against anything. Do not under any circumstances attend or work at this school.

The lower school is wonderful, however, the upper school needs to reexamine what it's true mission should be in today's educational climate.
