We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

The high school has good academics for the lower level classes but as you climb up to the higher classes it becomes less personal. For some students may find it harder to keep up while others are farther ahead yet are not on a high enough level for an AP course.
