What people are saying

by a student
Monday, July 30, 2018

Although students and some teachers are kind and easy to get along with, the administration is driving the school into the ground. We just celebrated our 150th anniversary...let me tell you, as the current rate of enrollment each year declines, there will be no 200th anniversary. The admin are inflexible, self-righteous, and the treat the students as pawns in their own agenda. The goal of the school is to promote individuality, yet all students are the exact same in their eyes. We have had many instances of under-qualified or somehow scandalous teachers being hired and the changing environment in the school is unpleasant and creates a difficult learning atmosphere.
