I love the atmosphere and the teachers! They are so willing to help and listen and it made for a great high school experience. The students are a little rough and sometimes staff don't do all they could to change or help that though.

The teachers, staff, and administration care. Our foster daughter has excelled there after very poor performance at other schools. For the student who wants to learn but has a negative background it is a great answer.
