We love our school. The teachers, staff and administration listen to the needs of the community and adapt for what the students need. My daughter’s AP classes are outstanding and there is quite a list of clubs, sports and activities that students can join. Close Quote

I love that school, its the best school in the world. A lot of the kids there are really nice and the teachers are awesome. The student security would always entertain me like Mr. Lewis or Mr. Rocco. I even like the opportunities they give out there. I Will cry a lot when i graduate but i have a long way to go do i'm gonna make the best of it Close Quote

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
