School Reviews

I love this school!! I initially went here to follow my friends, but it's definitely the best. The teachers are great and really diverse; they are able to support a variety of students. They don't get a ton of funding, unfortunately, so there aren't a lot of electives like you might get in a public school (like shop class or something) but the volunteer opportunities more than make up for it. Plus, you can go out for lunch because it's right in Downtown, and Civic Plaza is great for running around. The classes are hard, it's true. You have to do the work! I know some students struggle with classes because they expect more of you than other schools. The main reason for dissatisfaction is the classes are too hard and the teachers not helpful enough... but the teachers are helpful, it's just up to you to reach out first. So while this school is not great for everybody, it is a great place for those who may already be at the top of their classes and want to strive higher!
