I attended this school. You would do much better to send your children to a good public school or spend on a private school. If you want to raise a well-rounded, well-socialized child do not send your kid here. Accelerated programs in a public school provide an education of equal quality. The colleges that they brag graduates went to are the same schools that my classmates from public school attend. If you want to have a child with the social skills of Rainman then go ahead and send your kid here. Close Quote
