My time here was "ok". The staff was willing to work with us, and the students overall were pretty nice. Except for a select few. In my opinion there are certain aspects in a private school that you'd believe are not the same as in public. That isn't the case. If I were you I'd evaluate all your options before attending here. Again this is my personal experience so take it how you want ...

I liked the community of students, parents, and teachers. The work the teachers did to help prepare us for college was fantastic. Because it is a small school, students in each class were very close to each other unlike public high schools where you may not even know half of the students in your graduating class.

Everything about this school is great except for the math education, you’re telling me I being held back because of a placement test? And now I have to Learn new steps and I can’t use the steps that I already know because the teacher will just give you an F because it’s not his? That’s pretty stupid...
