We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I came to the school at the end of my junior year the transition was hard the teachers were very kind, and the admin was very helpful. I can tell that the teachers here really do care about the students here and the opportunities are readily available.

The worst part is the fact that there are no windows in any of the classrooms or in most of the building. It is dark and not helpful for learning. My teachers have been great and overall I am enjoying HS.
