This school lacks in diversity as well as academics for the many years I have been going here not much has changed I often get bullied for being a student of color as the majority of the school is white, and when I tell someone nothing be ever happens, and all this for 50k it is not worth it!

They called our black child aggressive. In our opinion, there was a disconnect between the DEI marketing and the actual environment. Our entire experience was disappointing.

Successful at getting kids into the high quality colleges, but a bit too limousine liberal to provide a balanced education from a social perspective.
