  • Everyone gets along with each other very well, the school staff and the students bond well; like a family. Campus is neat, very green by having recycling bins around the food court, the new kitchen will look nice for next years cooking class and for the future. I recommend parents to send their children to this school because it has a great program called the A.C.C.E.S.S. Club, students take field trips to places that requires science classes such as Biology, Marine Science. Its a great program to make students enjoy their class and to learn more about what science really is by having hands on experience.
