What people are saying

by a student
Thursday, December 6, 2018

I attended this school all 4 years of high school. Its really not as bad as the rankings would suggest. Its your typical inner city school. The teachers care about students success and you really get out of it what you put in. For example. my best friend graduated in the top 10 and now holds a master's degree from hamline university.
