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.

They don't reinforce their policies. Vaping and smoking is a huge problem in the school. The administration took major budget cuts for the next coming years.

The teachers at this high school are top-notch, and most if not all genuinely care about their students. The major downside is that the administration seems ot rarely be on the same page.

Education was okay, the school could use a bit of updating especially in the halls and certain classrooms.
