As a former student I can safely say it’s a comeplete joke of school, the faculty doesn’t care about the students education and well being. For me they only gave my 3 out of the 10 classes I should of had freshman year and said, “ that’s because you have a large class and can’t fit you in Cause the other classes are full. They will full on ruin your child’s/ yourself educated and won’t care about it plus their summer school is only 4 days long. I do not recommend this school to anyone. Close Quote
