the qualtiy of this school is execptional. the programs offered cover many of the desired filed that studens are intrested in and the actuall academic ones. i think that there should be corses avaliable to students who are intrested in becomin doctors or even crimalists. the music, art , and sports programs are ver nice. we have just the right amount to offer so that we can stil focus on our studies. we dnt have many awards if any to offer students or athlets. the facilities could be nicer. the level of parten involvment depends on how active the kids are in the school, most arent.
