I love my high school! It is small and intimate so the students are able to connect with each other and have the opportunity to be comfortable with the teachers and office staff. This school is all about college readiness on the level where we take college courses at Fresno City College for free starting as freshman in high school! Classes, books, and everything is paid for so we owe nothing out of pocket. The only thing I would change is the school lunch because it is not that great and it could be a student's only meal of the day.
All the staff is super supportive. Everyone goes above and beyond to see that the students succeed and go to a four year university once students' graduate. Since we are a small school, students are able to have one on one help with the teachers and staff. After school trutoring is always avaliable for students with upper class men who have taken the same colllege classes in the pass. The stuff are in constantcommunications with the college professors. One of thethings that makes Design Science special is that you know everyone at school and everyone knows you. Which sometimes can be both a blessing and a cursed. We are like a family, through thick and thin. No one matter what a student is going through, there is always someone there to help them along the way.
