School Reviews
5 4/5/2010
A great school. I actually go there; tons of parent involvement, great music department, there actually is a ton of athletic and academic awards(presidential award, racing score, honor roll and high honor roll), great academic programs, many extracurricular activities, and, well, I'm just a fourth grader who's probably writing a run-on sentence. I honestly have no idea about the facilities.
