School Reviews
| 5 I think this is a great school to attend. I enjoyed everyday of high school and every single teacher has helped me to succeed after high school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - A |
| 2 I have found that if you are not into sports than you get left out in the cold. Even the teachers make it difficult for non-sports playing children to attend school there. I have never seen anything like it before in my whole life. - Posted by Parent - debbe |
