School Reviews
4 8/7/2019
Students must accept personal responsibility for their academic performance, teachers can only do so much. My Child graduated in 2019, my child received significant academic scholarship to an elite school. Can there be improvements? Absolutely! I would like to see more challenging courses offered, would like to see more prep classes for Act/ Sat. Would like to see more options for foreign languages, would like to see better math and science driven courses, and teachers capable of teaching those courses!

the faculty and staff do not do all that they can to ensure that students are ready for their future
rather it be college or straight into the work force.
