School Reviews
5 1/24/2014
With the amount of people that attend the school, teachers are more available for one on one learning. The teachers genuinely care about the individual students futures and strive to better them. Everyone in the school knows everyone else and has for the most part grown up with the other students in the school since kindergarten. Very welcoming place, almost like a big family, everyone jokes around and tries to have as much fun as allowed. We currently do have a lot of young moms at the school but they are accepted all the same. There surprisingly are not any cliques, all groups interact with each other regularly without problems. Band is not good at all hanging on by a thread. Art program is very good and the choir has a new director.
