(4 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Moving to this area from the Midwest we found this school district to be a good fit for our needs.
The classes are small and the school allows for individual attention. Not being a "mega-school" our children are able to have more extracurricular activities.
The academics are sound; however we would have liked to see more AP opportunities. Honors courses are offered throughout, but AP opportunities are offered almost exclusively at the senior level.
