The teachers are very helpful. They truly care about their students. It is a very small school, so the students are very close with each other. The school is only a few years old, so the building is beautiful -- absolutely wonderful facilities. The lunches are not bad as well. The staff is very great at their jobs and are dedicated to what they do. Athletics are less than stellar, but that is due to coaching. Overall, there is always someone to talk to, and you can feed at home in this school.

Less pandering/embarrassing sports sendoffs and school-wide gatherings would be nice, plus an audition choir, but overall I've enjoyed my experience at USC.

Most teachers help the students, but they don't take extra time out of their day to help students.
