School Reviews
3 10/10/2025
Alumni from the far past here, figured I would rate this place after graduating college. This school did not prepare me for college at all, I was a straight A student in honors classes all through high school and turned out to be pretty far behind upon entering college. Took some time to turn that around and get on that dean''s list. It''s fine if you don''t plan on going into a computer-based tech degree where coding is important; unless things have changed since then.
