Most of the bad reviews here are huge lies. As a student there now, I can safely say it's a very good school. Yes, there's probably every now and then, but all schools have that. All of the staff is very nice and helpful :))

Alright so i'll be a little indepth for this review I have been a student here for almost 2 years, and if you truly wish to get your diploma, to get certifications for a Job, etc, this would be a great place to start out a good career path. Education here is very well done, you can finish your HS Diploma with the remaining credits you need, or just get your GED, which is fairly quick and easy. The teachers are extremely nice, and they do their job very well. Classrooms are pretty clean and everything is where it should be 90% of the time. Dorm life is very quiet, but its not too bad. Only issue is that the students are sometimes extremely loud randomly at night, blaring music or being loud in general, but that depends on which area you are in, its not normally an issue. Study rooms arent usually open though. For most after school stuff, the recreation center is well maintained and there are a good amount of activities being in place on the weekends, mostly like movie trips. The cafeteria is very well maintained, and the food is pretty good. The only issues I have here are the students most of the time. Some of them are extremely aggressive and mostly harass newer students. Another thing, focus on your education here. Don't worry about the friend groups or relationships, those are not the main focus of why you should want to come here/be here. And also, as for the money you get here, PLEASE for the love of god do NOT just spend your money on random stuff, you can earn a lot here.

I would give this place a 1 star rating on the medical practices alone, but the staff & students were kind and I'd rather base my experiences on them. Me & my brother resigned due to personal reasons, but my resignation mostly had to do with my experiences with the medical staff & drawing my blood. I'd rather not have being stuck 5 times for a blood draw normalized for kids that don't know how to stand up for themselves. I was in the wellness center for over an hour while they wiggled needle after needle under my skin searching for a vein to draw blood from. I started to worry when one of the medical staff drew blood from my wrist under my thumb, which is one of the veins that is a contraindication, which means that it could've caused permanent nerve injury. One of the teachers had joked about a kid being stuck with a needle for a blood draw 12 times & that made me very uncomfortable. If you are that incompetent to have to stab a child 12 times to draw blood from them then you should not be working in that field. Other than that experience it was nice to talk to staff, mingle with the students and learn what I did in class.
