It's not a bad school, however, the military aspect can serve as a shock to some. It helps build character and lifelong relationships. It is definitely a challenge, so be prepared. There will always be people to assist and hep you out through it.

Lies, Lies and more Lies! This is the worse decision I could have made for my sons! No parent should have to feel this way. You think that you doing what is in the best interest of your children and it turns out to be your worst nightmare. The turnover in administration is appalling! What a waste of...
