Open Quote As someone who actually goes here it has some of the most intelligent kids I've ever met. Two amazing specialty centers, king teachers/staff and overall wonderful place. Many kids at this school have a GPA over 3.5 and 4.0 so I don't understand what the false information is about. Anywho! This school is also really diverse! I love it there! Close Quote
