Read What Students Are SayingThe teachers do an awesome job with their lesson plans. I like how my recreation's teacher, Mrs. Herder, would also talk to us one on one.
Michelle from Taft, CA
This school prepares you for a four year college. The teachers are excellent and spend extra time to teach information you didn't understand. The school becomes more like a home than an actual school, the friendly environment, all sports athletes become close and most importantly the staff provide lots of supports towards the students.
