School Reviews
2   9/1/2016
The school has had quality staff in the past, however, they have a high turnover rate for their staff. The school does offer extracurricular activities such as basketball and flag football, however, they lack the support needed with regard to funding the activities. They also have access to lots of advanced technology, however, again they do not have the necessary staff to support the use of all the accessible technology.
