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.

There were 400 kids in my entire school and my freshman class started out with 112 kids but on graduation stage there was about 93. Kids would get into fights, even threatened to shoot up the school. But the teachers genuinely did care they're the best experience of that school.

The student to teacher ratio is wonderful. I have had a great experience with all the teachers. Classes are a nice size of about 20-30. Everyone has equal and equitable access to APs.
