The environment was very welcoming toward all walks of life. Everyone found their people and minded their own business if they did not mesh with certain individuals. I did not witness any real bullying, unlike my peers at neighboring schools.

Most of them don't really care about their classes o...

As a parent, I feel very safe and secure sending my children there. Both children are in AP classes and several activities. My daughter is...
