college prep" is a joke. counselors don't even know their students. academics are fine if you actively seek out challenging classes, but almost all of the newer teachers are awful. the social scene has made my high school experience miserable. if you didn't attend a catholic middle school, you will struggle to make any friends. the social environment is incredibly cliquey and superficial. i have looked forward to graduation for four years now since it means i won't have to go here anymore.

My son is now a Junior and we started during Covid times. The school handled this so well and did everything they could to keep the kids excited (and safe).
