This school has everything a student needs. The recently renovated classrooms are state-of-the-art, with Elmos and smart boards in every class, and a lab of nearly 30 Macs. The teachers really connect with the student, and the administration is involved highly in the campus. The bands are award-winning (Reno!), and our choir feeds into the national #1 choir at Los Alamitos High School. This is an amazing school!

Urban Public Schools Come to the Rescue of Black Boys
Public schools across the nation are implementing programs that help keep young black men in school and off the streets. Boosting graduation rates, reducing gang involvement and violence, and providing positive male role models are just a few of the common elements of these programs. Yet, the achievement gap between black boys and other peer groups remains extremely wide.
