Facility-wonderful, opportunities-fantastic, staff-questionable on case by case basis. One junior level pre-ap teacher was convinced by her class they couldn't read or knew how to take notes for research papers. She read aloud to them from Dr. Seuss books.

Teachers are biased. They (performing Arts, Mr. Kay in particular) refuse to allow others to particpate, he seems to have his select studends.....and refuses to allow others to perform. He has done this for three years straight...If anyone is wanting their child to have a fair shot Mr. Kay is not of any help.
