The dedication of the admin staff and teachers is reflected in the students excitement for learning and attending school. My child went from hating school to loving it. Her confidence has skyrocketed. Her motivation to do well in her classes has improved significantly. She talks about college and her future more. She's a part of the junior honors society and volunteers with her teachers and with higher achievement. I know the environment at this school has played a significant role in her turnaround. Parent engagement is also very high here.
