School Reviews
5 10/10/2025
The academics at this school are in-depth, hard-hitting, and overall fantastic. With the small number of kids in the school, students get to know their teachers extremely well. Athletics are outstanding at this school, but arts take a back seat. The only performing arts class available for credit is band. There is not a chorus at the school except for an after school club.
