My son is going into grade 11 this year. We've had a wonderful experience at this school. The teachers are kind and caring, they go the extra mile to make sure students are successful in their courses. For a small school there are a lot of different courses including AP options and some new health care and engineering classes. My son loves these classes. He has a wide friendship circle and the kids that go here seem nice.
