Great school with a Principal and teachers that care. Really great educational environment.

I would give this school 2 stars. While there are some good teachers and opportunities, the administration is extremely strict and students are given very little freedom compared to other schools. Students are not allowed to leave campus during lunch, even upperclassmen, which makes the school environment feel very controlling.The school also takes away a lot of traditions and activities that students should be able to enjoy. There is no junior prom at all, unlike other schools in the district, and outsiders are not allowed at events like homecoming. Seniors are not allowed to decorate their senior parking spots, and even simple traditions like turning the lights off during homecoming are banned. It feels like every year there are more unnecessary rules added.One of the biggest problems is the bathroom situation. Almost all of the bathrooms in the school are locked, and students are forced to use only two bathrooms in the entire building. On top of that, only three students are allowed in at a time, which creates huge lines and traffic jams between classes. Students end up wasting time just trying to use the bathroom.Overall, the school focuses too much on control and restrictions instead of creating a positive high school experience for students.

Absolutely best experience ever with a school. The staff and administration are second to none and my children were loved, cared for, and educated! Would do whatever it takes to keep my kids in this school if we had to move.
