This school feels like home. The teachers care about their students and make them feel special and loved. The environment is safe and loving which influences educational opportunities offered and wanted. I highly recommend this school because it made my high school years memorable and happily remembered.

Very small and a lot of the teachers are either inexperienced and straight out of college or very kind and caring.
