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.

The best part about my school is the teacher-to-student connection made while being here. Teachers made a great effort to create meaningful relationships with students in their classes. School culture is also very big. Whether it was a pep rally or assembly, they ensured that school spirit was put into everything.

Best parts are the athletics, and forming friendships for sure. The actual school part is a hit or miss.

Have one child that recently graduated and another with one year left. The programs offered here and the education my kids received were top notch. They have lots of AP classes and a great sports program. All of the teachers have been helpful and caring.
