School Reviews
5 1/3/2014
This school is the BEST! I love it here! Our principal is honest, caring, friendly, and serious. His wife is currently my Science teacher and she is the BEST teacher EVER! They do offer a lot of sports but when it comes right down to it they put academics before sports and fun while still incorporating both. We cannot compete in athletic events unless our grades are above a C average.
