This is an extraordinary school. It is small so it feels more like a family. The counselors are wonderful. Students have access to learn a trade or prepare for college. Assistance is available for what your child may need such as tutoring, counseling etc. Resources are in place in case the parents need help with every day necessities such as school supplies, clothes for the child and more. If your child needs to catch up or wants to stay ahead, 8 classes a day are available and online courses as well. The Teachers work hard to ensure the students succeed being available mornings and after school and keep the parents informed of their progress. A great nurturing environment where the student comes first and where young men and young women fill comfortable, don't have to be worried about being bullied. The students can continue to be a person that has integrity, compassion and respect for others and can still smile on a day to day basis. Nothing beats that.

My son and I moved here from California, we have been embraced with open arms by the school. My son is a honor roll student and has joined after school clubs such as the comic book club, PRISM and the science club. The teachers and counselors go above and beyond to assist the students with whatever they may need.
