Unfortunately things have gone downhill a bit in the last couple years. Some of the best teachers have left, some of the current teachers really not up to par. Complaints to school administration are met with tepid responses. Their wonderful parent coordinator passed away last year and that leaves a gap that simply cannot be repaired, she was the glue holding many things together. Mostly white teachers with mostly BIPOC students. I would think twice about sending a neurodiverse student here too. They will continue to score well on exams because they teach aggressively for that but my kids experience of school this tear has been a disappointment. Counseling and psychology are good but not good enough to make up for the very low emotional intelligence of some of the teachers.

As a recent graduate of this school, it is horrible. It wasn’t to bad in my first year but it progressively got worse, there were many fights and horrible students, the teachers like to cover up a lot things such as how our old dean strangled a child/student in our school and didn’t bring it up, if you did bring it up you got in trouble. This school likes to believe they’re very open minded but the students here say otherwise. The teachers here I can say some were alright and actually I had a close bond with a few, but others can give you a hard time. Also there was a uniform change where before students were allowed to wear any sort of pants like jeans and not be called out for but they switched up the rule during my last year which was honestly very weird considering we had already wore jeans and other sort of pants for the past 2 years. Most staff here are also super strict about phones being in yonder pouches when really I think it’s not that a big of a deal if a student just keeps their phone in their bag in case of any emergency. Clubs weren't so bad but I really just don’t recommend this school in general it wasn't good years ago and still hasn’t changed.

go to a diff school if u can because u literally learn nothing for after college. there are some teachers that genuinely care about the students but some r js rlly lazy and cant teach at all. and the food here is atrocious so js bring ur own lunch. and theres some racism and fights here which is to be expected in a school like this. now if u wanna prepare urself for college and actually wanna try hard for ur academics PLEASE dont go here
