Overall, this is a good school. It has sports for every season and offers some concurrent credit courses to high schoolers. It does not offer running start, and the number of students isn't too big.

The teachers are willing to work with each student to help them get through high school. The school is quite flexible with homework situations.

Homophobic. They say they're "Christian" but I'm reality all this schools did for me was make me feel bad about myself. There is automatic expulsion if you are LGBT. And all the teachers always talk about "the gays" and how we're going to hell. They aren't Christian, they just try to brainwash you into their small minded thinking. By the way, when I went into collage, this school had not prepared me for it AT ALL.
