The school could use more AP classes and more high level academics. The food is not the best. Music and the arts programs are supported in the school.

Average school with average teachers. There's not a lot of opportunity for college, but the school is small, so that is to be expected. If you just ignore the people (who kind of suck) it just is a school

I really enjoyed Marching band, concert band and all of the musicals that I was involved in. The teachers really care about you and always give you great opportunities.

This school is awful and no one should go here. The teachers and higher up are the worst people and dont know how to run a school. False accusations and horrible treatment to students.
