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.

This school has by far been then best school I've ever been to, with low amount of students, great teachers, college plan helpers, and great programs... Not only that they have an all new school (remodeled in 2006.. or so). They have the best fun too! GO EAGLES!
