The teachers truly want the students to succeed and go above and beyond to help them achieve success and graduate with confidence. Academics are excellent. |
| 7/18/2012 | parent | Fantastic school. The environment is relaxed enough to let creativity flow, while still upholding very high behavioral standards. My son has immensely enjoyed his first year there. Wonderful, helpful, understanding teachers. The focus on college right from the start is a great thing, makes the kids think beyond high school and helps them focus on the future. We're excited by the move to the old Alameda theater building...the school will be even more special! |
