I absolutely loved the environment I was able to learn and grow in; the teachers are wonderful and all the students and staff are so respectful. One thing I would like to see changed, is the interior of the school. Many things can be done to improve the way the school as a whole feels, and looks, on the inside.

I love how small and close my school is. There aren't many students and the learning experience is fantastic.

This school makes you feel like a family, even after I moved I was connected with the people I had met here. I have even been introduced to people who moved here after I had left because they remember you here and will continue to talk about you like you never left. The teachers are great too, just like family.
