Let me just start by saying this school is horrible, not because of the programs it offers, but because of the tremendous amount of students(nearly 4000) and the students that come from low class families. I spent 9 yrs putting her in private school to avoid this , and when we had to put her in the HS it has been a nightmare.

Big school with lots of students but this provides more opportunities to make friendships as well as an abundance of activities, sports and programs to take part in while in a relatively welcoming community
