I like this school it is very epic and really cool, all the students are really nice and the teachers too. everyone supports you there, they don't have strict rules and things, the lunch is also really nice. the work and grades are based on your skill and age, also they have no hand-me-downs, they are original, they have a lot of money and responsible about their decisions, they have so many programs and activities, projects and so much more stuff. overall, I love it!

The school ok area is kind of right but in my opinion, most of the teachers treat u Removed most of them are cool but if ur kids are sensitive with stuff like that I advise u to send them to mark twain it seemed better there I have no idea why I chose Sahs instead but I did. I recommend sending ur kid there but taking them to a different school when they hit junior high and the nurse and staff are cool. it''s fun here I''d give says a 3/5.
