They care less about academics and student wellbeing and more about promoting themselves. The administration is always denying issues. Only positive thing I can really say for it is that the campus is good and the food is too

Not worth the price. Very weak in academics, administration is poor, and there is a lack of resources. Food is tasty and teachers are nice, but still not great at all. There are better schools in the area that have better resources, academics, and administration that won't drain your pockets. I'll admit it is a fun school for most, but lacks quality in many other fields. Don't go here if you are serious about school, academics, or college very much. Even if you don't care about these areas, the money is best spent elsewhere. 1 star, not worth it.

This is the finest high school imaginable. They integrate the latest research in effective learning, have amazing teachers, and a peaceful environment with a heterodoxical approach (differences of opinion are acceptable).
