They need to offer more dual enrollment options. Honors and AP classes are offered but need more dual enrollment options.

Great school with caring and professional teachers. The faculty and administration are concerned about shaping the students' hearts to follow Christ as well as strong academics.

I graduated in 2019 from this school and I was satisfied academically but the school is seriously lacking in inclusivity. Students and teachers alike are extremely judgmental and a lot of students find it hard to find their niche because of this. Teachers play favorites and the school doesn't offer much to do except a couple clubs and sports teams.
