  • Great AP programs. The school is as good as the student makes it. For those who want the challenge and prep for college the opportunity is there. For those who want to breeze in to a high school diploma that's also there. The Mathematics and Language Arts departments are extraordinary where as most others stand out only because of one or two teachers. Very limited bullying as well as general violence though like all high schools now there is a chance you'll run into light drug use at the high school parties as well as heavy drinking. For me personally the school provided the perfect balance between fun outside of school, great sports programs, and great curriculum. (More than 78% of my class went on to a university or college the next year)
