This is a pretty terrible school, after going there all three years here's what I have to say, the food is terrible, teachers are usually a mixed bag but almost all the time lack teaching ability, I definitely believe that some of the staff are only there as DEI hires as they do absolutely nothing, there are only 2 to 3 good teachers in the entire campus, I regret going here.

Awesome school. This school has given a growing ladder to my son in all aspects. It’s one of the best school. Academics, sports, extracurricular activities, teachers, staff…everything single thing is too good. Principal is very nice.
