  • Great School. I have had one graduate one is a sophomore and one will be going. My oldest loved the school and her teachers. My son makes straight A's and plays sports and also loves it. Low crime and violence in the area. Wouldn't send my kids anywhere else.

  • This school is extremely unsatisfactory, academically and in extra curricular activities also. The staff/administration/coaches do not care about the student or their futures. I have a son who is graduating this semester and one who graduated 4 years ago. Both are bright kids who could have stellar collegiate opportunities, but neither were encouraged, as a matter of fact, the latter was demoralized so severely that he is not pursuing a college education at all based solely on this coaches harsh, abusive words. The kids who leave this High School are not academically prepared for College. I would avoid sending my child to this school at all cost.
