Great school with a focus in education. This is an IB school with many AP classes starting freshman year. The school is lead by an energetic administration, and a faculty that is engaged with the students. The arts are well represented including the national award-winning choir! Sports excel with many section titles including football, boys and girls' basketball and baseball. Many clubs available to join including one of the largest Leo's clubs in the state. Parents can be involved as much as they want and are encouraged to do so. Besides being a great school the campus setting is picturesque!

Poor offering of AP classes. Can't even take them until Jr. year. No support for the arts. All the support for their football. Low level of parent involvement. Academic class quality fall very short of other high schools similar size. Wood shop taught in Tech Essentials a computer class, computer instruction consequently very limited. Extracurricular activities are few and far between. The school's main extracurricular expenditure of dollars and time is football. Big bully and drug problems. I overheard a drug exchange while picking up my children in the parking lot. School doesn't seem to be able to handle their discord. Very cliquey, unfriendly atmosphere.
