I like the community as a whole; it's not judgmental. If you need extra help, the teachers are willing to stay after just to make sure you pass. The small classes help you understand better. And the sports help you feel welcome. You can join regardless of your experience.

I like how close everybody is and how small our school is - it's easy to make friends. Same thing with the teachers...you can have good relationships with them. And there's opportunities for us to take hard classes.

I was an immigrant who came last year without English and I had a lot of support. They didn't complain about my English. I had all As. I had a lot of questions and a lot of people talked to me.

I really like the teachers because they're really nice here and most of the students are really nice. The classes aren't really easy but enough that we can learn.
