It was great. It pushed me to my greatest potential and supported me when I struggled. I wish there was less of a focus on sports and sports culture. I did enjoy the support I got for academics, and the teachers were incredible. I enjoyed making friends and working hard for grades.

Overall very good high school. Lots of offerings. Plenty of AP and Honors classes to challenge kids. Communication is excellent. The administration has done an OUTSTANDING job given the mediocre funding support from the community.
