It's very competitive so everyone is trying to get the upper hand so often that brings the worst out of people characteristically but academically not. It's obvious that this is true because basically majority of the teachers in the district try to transfer to this school because they know the students are very driven. I had a lot of teachers who said they were waiting for a teaching position here to open so they could leave their previous school in the district and work here.

Honestly I have read what some of the comments have said about the school saying that there are issues with drugs, racism, and bullying and it's pretty clears that in almost every big high school there are issues like that. Majority of big schools are going to have some form of bullying, racism, and definitely some alcohol/drug abuse. So to assume that a public high school is completely free of that is pretty naive. This school is extremely competitive since this is a pretty wealthy community so parents invest very heavily into their children either through extracurricular activities, academics, or both. In contrast to other schools this one will definitely prepare you for college just don't hang with the wrong crowd a basic rule in every school/ place.

You cannot take advantage of a more excellent school than this one. So many bright students that want to challenge themselves. Teachers and classes can get tough, especially in English.
