Great school, and staff who cares. Highschool is a step into adulthood, you get what you put into it. If you fail to go to class, do your work and actively learn then no, your not going succeed. Teachers always help when asked if you don’t understand something or need extra help. Your social life here is what you put into it, there are tons of clubs and extra clubs or sports you can participate in. My councilors helped with college apps and helped me get a number of scholarships.

If you hate your child bring them here.

This school has been terrible for my son and 2 of my nieces as well. They don't care about the students and seem to only be there for a paycheck. The lunches are not even bare minimum and most the staff is absurd and no professional as well. The principal is also a cry baby when things don't go his way or you voice any sort of concern and be warned; if your child takes any sort of medication. They gave my son the wrong meds during the school year and landed him in the hospital and they acted as if it wasn't a big deal and simply said it wouldn't happen again. I could go on and on but there isn't enough space in this comment box. Absolutely do not recommend! Would give 0 stars if it was an option.
