Overall it is a good school. It is possible to start a class and start over [my own daughter did it] , and it is impossible to do all your homework on the bus ride home, unless you have a long bus ride. There are plenty of opportunities to be challenged; why else would they offer ACP class [that go

* In 2008-2009 Indiana used the Indiana Statewide Testing for Educational Progress-Plus (ISTEP+) assessment to test students in grades 3 through 10 in English/language arts and math, and in grades 5 and 7 in science. The ISTEP+ is a standards-based test, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Indiana. High school students are required to pass the grade 10 ISTEP+ to receive a high school diploma. The goal is for all students to score at the passing level on the test.
