Overall the school is pretty good. The teachers are mainly all nice and the academics are very good. Most teachers are very willing to help you succeed. There are many teachers that I especially bond with and there are many trusted adults here. The school has gotten stricter with our new administration but it is still an overall good school.

Her classes average 28 students with only one teacher on the class. My daughter had a question of one of the teach...
