I graduated from this school and it got me back on track. I was transferred there my senior year of high school with a semester I had to make up, So I did a year and a half work before the school year was over! Its the students choice to succeed or fail. And since I have graduated (2008) I have gone farther than I expected.
This school gives the students no motivation at all. The days go by slow & the teachers never take the time to talk with any students. They give way too much work & expect students to complete it without a teachers help. I wouldn't recommend going to this school. It brought my grades down lower than they already were.
Great school with the ability to produce a student's potential.
I think that sending my son here robbed him of all motivation to get back into his regular high school. Going to school half a day becomes attractive to a kid his age, and the friends that he met there were in more trouble than he was, so that he ended up hanging out with a much rougher, more apathetic crowd.
