School Reviews

As a past student of the AG and HAG program, I can say that the school and location is not good. But the opportunities available override this. You can get on to almost all teams without tryouts, great after school activity's, and you are around some of the smartest kids in the state. But going back to the location, I think we had 10 lock downs a year which was crazy high.
