Great programs, kids take some classes for high school credit to get a jump-start. Building is well-kept and nice looking. There is a lot of school spirit. Close Quote

My daughter has experienced threats of physical violence at this school (in front of teachers) and little has been done to stop the behavior. The school is an unsafe environment for students. Close Quote
