This school is a school that doesn't support the First Amendment, a 14 year old girl keeps getting suspended because of her an her parent religion. Just because of a nose piercing she has, she keeps getting suspended an soon if she doesn't follow the school rule she has to change schools, and just because of a school rule that is stupid. She is expressing her religion and the school is denying it so they are not supporting the First Amendment so in the end i would not recommend this school at all.

They have a great academic program. You can be involved in music, just about any sport, and even art. They have drama club, and a whole bunch of others. They always give out awards.
