Good school overall. The STEM program is really strong and prepared me well for my engineering course in college. Only downside is the parking situation during drop-off hours.

As a teacher here for 8 years, I can say that the administration genuinely cares about both students and faculty. Professional development opportunities are provided regularly.

The college programs are solid, especially IT and Engineering. Labs are well-equipped. Tuition is a bit steep but the scholarship program helps a lot.

Decent school but could improve on communication with parents. Sometimes we find out about schedule changes too late. Academics are good though.
