It's a good school for you if you wanna challenge yourself academically. Every course is advanced, so it's hard to have good grades, and the stress is real. It's worth all the stress though and all the challenges because it does prepare us for college and helps us to be in a good college for sure. I've been in this school since 6th grade! It did help me to get out of ESOL, but I'm just an average student, and being fed with advanced classes just caused me to have bad grades in this school. Later, I started to catch up and it's not really that bad, but I dislike having to struggle with the stress I recieve from the advanced classes cause it's not in my level and I'm just not capable of having straight A's as much as I desire and I accept that I'm not an 'A' student. But, it's good if it's your desire and your choice to be in this school because if you're forced into this school, you'll hate it big time. Just me being honest.
I have graduated from here several years ago, and attended from 6th-12th grade.
It was, and to my understanding, still remains, an excellent school. The greatest advantage about going here is the ability to get t know your teachers very, very well.
My advice to excel in this school is the following:
I. Bond with the teachers: They are highly skilled, and care deeply about their students. Mine were mentors and confidants. They will help you with whatever you need to get where you want to go, and indeed, help you find out where that is.
II. Particular to high school - be aware of the programmes offered to you: I attribute my success in university to specialising while I was still in high school. YOU CAN DO THIS - you do not have to take a general class load throughout high school. The opportunities for scholarships, academic achievements, and learning about a subfield, are multitudinous. DO DUAL ENROLLMENT. It's a leadership school - be a leader in the navigation of your life!

The student body is wonderful for my year, as well as relatively small. We are a good 30-40 kids. Everyone is accepting of each other and there isn't a big bullying problem. The teachers vary significantly. Some teachers make it a nice and educational environment that is friendly to all students while others may compensate for their lack of abilities with a heavy workload. Some teachers are great at teaching but are horrible people. Most of the bad teachers are in the math department because it is harder to replace them, no matter how many grievances are held against them. The classes are an ok variety. For middle school students are expected to take honors classes with a nice variety of electives. For high school, students take 1 to 2 APs in 9th grade and the number increases the further you go. The APs can be stressful but there is a good teacher support from what I have seen so far. Electives are also ok , but there are few.
