Bert Lyn and Cassmir are better. I would not recommend but it’s okay.

This school places a lot of emphasis on whole child development. It is academically challenging but also places great importance on extra curricular activities. My three boys have all thrived there and tell me that they feel supported by their teachers. I saw one post saying there are no sports teams - that may have been the way things were. This year 2021-2022 they had competitive soccer and volleyball teams as well as an e-sports team. Their bands and choirs also compete. On top of that there are a ton of clubs and the kids are free to start up new clubs with teacher approval. The student boys is diverse and the teachers are young and enthusiastic.

Pretty good over all but I have had a few bad teachers the past three years here but it is more likely than not that they didn´t understand how to teach more than one type of person. And teachers don´t notice the bullying here it isn´t terrible but it should be handled better.

This is school is not a good school and average at best. There's no sports teams except for track. The school does a okay job teaching students. The staff and teachers are great though.
