School is like most public schools. the average student gets a little lost in the mix, but those that excell, academically or athletically, or have special learning needs, are met with a great program and caring faculty across the board. It ios mostly the parents that create challenge, when it comes to supporting their children in their studies/athletics. The school may not have all the bells and whistles, but it has a substancial ability to greatly contribute to their students success. However, it does require parent involvement, something that parents are not always willing to give the time and energy to. I have had an issue from time to time, and have always been met with a respectful and prompt response, as well as suitable resolution.

This school focuses more on atheletics than anything else. Academics should come first and foremost, but this school fails to provide what is needed on an academic level or atheletic level. I would not recommend this school to anyone.
