When I was a student there, we had great teachers k-12. Going back and seeing how it has changed since the high school got shut down, I see that they still have great teachers and is a very supportive school .

Overall, this school is actually quite amazing. The main course that I happen to love the most would be Business Marketing, because it teaches me new things every day. If there were anything I'd want to be added in this school, I'd say that this school should have an ROTC class.
