I highly recommend anyone who has the opportunity to have their children attend here to TAKE IT! This school is great...everyone cares for the students success from the teachers, administrators to counselors. It is a small school where your student will get exactly what they need, if they ask. It is fast paced though so it does require some self-motivation and dedication on the students part! It is some hard work but well worth the high school and dual enrolled credit to earn the Associates degree as well.
