This school provides an all around excellent educational experience with a healthy, diverse environment. There is something for everyone. This town takes education and equality very seriously in a manner that I think prepares students for the world and to be good world citizens (as corny as that sounds.) Don't be scared by rankings. It is the economic and other diversity that sadly makes test scoring disparity a reality. Close Quote
