Excellent educational opportunity for teens. I went to the school and graduated from there back in 1996. The administration and instructors really do care for their students and are very focused and well qualified to teach. My term there was quite honestly a life changing experience. This is hands down one of the best high schools in the country. I am eagerly looking forward to the day when my little girl is old enough to attend.
