Student graduate- This is a good school I had graduated from this school, after I attended Inver Hills community college. They DO pursue higher education for students who are trying to do things in life. They have offered me higher class replacements and the school offers college classes at DCTC. Students who do actual little work are the ones that are lazy or wanted to never be in school in the first place. Students actually get more one on one time with the Instuctor. Also, the school goes on field trips time to time to get more hands on learning about what history they''re learning about. The school is connected with Henry Sibley High School to do sports and other curriculum activites.

It is pretty much a movie marathon. Students do little actual work to reflect what students at their grade level should be doing. A poor choice for any student who has aspirations beyond graduating.
