This is an excellent school but not for the average student. Its curricula are geared for high performers and it expects only the best efforts from the best students. It regularly delivers a high-level education to talented individuals.

This school is a great springboard for kids hoping to get into a high-ranking college. That said, the students are extremely competitive with each other which results in bullying and rampant academic dishonesty.
