I loved the dedication of the faculty to the students' success. The teachers have bee very approachable with any concerns I had. The proctors for the clubs were also very dedicated and involved. The teachers were excellent in presenting the material and were very fair in grading and were always available for extra help.

I like my teachers and the education. The teachers really care about the students and are available every day for help if needed. My classes are small so I get a lot of personal attention from my teachers. There are a wide variety of clubs and activities for student involvement and the school is continually updating the building and resources.

I would not recommend this school. Back-up staff in the front office is extremely rude. I was treated like a stranger and a second-class citizen when I took my son for an evaluation at the school when the students had half a day. The back-up secretary was extremely rude to me and offensive with her...
