Not that great lot's of focus on football rather than other academics. Half of the classrooms are in portables with terrible Wi-Fi. Overall, an average high school with little to offer.

Amazing school, great academics that are challenging but enjoyable. Arts and athletes are recovering from a hard 2017 year, but we are going strong and still have amazing winning programs. I would suggest this school over any other- plus we have a great graduation rate compared to vintage!
