We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

This is a small school so the teachers like to do a lot of one on one with students. You really get to know each other and they know the best ways to help you in problems. I really enjoy the environment many of the teachers have, which is very relaxed, but at the same time strict enough that we know we need to get our work done and not mess around.

I think there is great parent/fan support and school spirit. Some of the student lack very much competitive drive though.
