My daughter graduated in 2016, she experienced both the small schools and the current single school designs. I loved her small school, Green was our color and Mrs. Pugsley was our Principal, knew her kids and where they were academically. AP courses where highly encouraged. When the transition happened we were well prepared, our daughter continued on the AP, Portland Community College course track. Our daughter is currently attending college in NY and is thriving.Factors, self-motivation, great small school foundation, and great higher level AP teachers that were very supportive. This is not going to be everyone's experience, some kids will need more nudges than others, I do believe that if staff and teachers are familiar with your students situation, their particular needs they will do all they can to assist. Like anything else, get their attention early, be in touch with your student’s world and I think success is not hard to achieve.There is a caring alt ed option for students with non-mainstream education needs.

This school is absolutely fantastic! From the front office staff, to teachers and especially the student body and families.

This school was horrible I was so so so badly bullied I suffered from it very badly and had to do 3 years of therapy to get better from it. When I told the teachers they said it was teens being teens and goofing off. The principal also gives me major creeps.
