Open Quote Great School, very clean organized and friendly. I have been there since the start, now you might say I never got out so I can't compare...BUT I do know that the halls and classrooms are straight, clean and I've never seen a fight before, and been bullied with words a few times over 10+ years. I'm literally smiling down the hall and everyone including busy administrators and students smile back and greet me. That happened...about...10 times this few months??? There's not too many social groups, people are very diverse. It's not bad to be different or smart; in fact people love it if you are, it's a place to grow and learn. ---S.L Grad Class 2014 Close Quote
