My overall experience at the school was observing that it was an extremely competitive school that readied students to move to college to its fulliest abilities. I would like to see more diversity at the school, as it had very few minority groups in its populace. I would also like to see more focus on the extracurriculars of the school rather than just the general academic facilities.
