After attending here for 4 years i feel very prepared for college. The academic teachers actually care about you and they all
know how to do their
job well. The arts teachers however, are hit
and miss. Some do their job very well, but others aren't the best. It's also very obvious that they have favorites. The staff their including, Principal, VP, secretary etc, are very fun but also strict and pretty much everyone loves them. The students who attend are very dramatic, which is obvious coming from and arts school, but also very liberal, which was fine for me, but maybe not
for you. Lots of teachers don't even make an effort to
try to hide their political beliefs which is concerning.
To recap, this is a good school to get you prepared for college, and get great arts education, however if
you want the full high school experience, don't go
here

The principal and administration are outstanding and always help me when I need it. The heads of departments are awesome as well, as are most of the teachers. There are a few kerfuffles, but for the most part, this school rocks! It's stressful, but it's worth it to be with other people who have the same interests as me. Through my experience here, I feel as though I have grown a lot in my area of study and I have grown into a more responsible person.
