What people are saying

by a student
Tuesday, July 28, 2015

Just saying I go to this school and it says grades 6-9 but actually it's grades 6-12 starting at the beginning of this school year. This is a school that is preparing scholars for college. The classes may be long but it will all pay off if you apply yourself. I hated all the long classes but now, going on into my senior year I see why. Close Quote
