Very good school but needs to be more diverse. Winning was over shadowed by learning a team spirit on a sports team. To the point where the coach was bullying players saying that had no skills. Does not really create a team environment or an atmosphere to want to play the sports because of being to competitive.

Generally great place , could definitely use some improvement. Sports and food severely lack compared to other schools.

A school full of focused students working toward a successful future. Students are involved in class activities, labs, etc. and challenge themselves frequently. Teachers stay after several days every week after school to help out students who struggle in various subjects. Overall, the school has faults but has steadily improved over time and will continue to do so in the future as it adapts better policies.
