What people are saying

by a student
Monday, October 24, 2011

I am a student here and absolutely love it! I went to a charter school before and there are a lot of things that are similar, in bio so far we have done a bunch of significant labs, all of the teachers make learning fun. The facility is great and very large so we are a very sports and academic oriented school. I am not involved with any of the competative sports there but there are TONS of after school clubs that are and are not competative. Even though the school is large and I had to start over with meeting all new friends I definetly feel like I fit in. Everyone is excepted. Close Quote
