Best Practice High School Reviews

I have a Sophomore and Junior that attend this school who are doing very well academically..However this school needs more sports, and other extracurricular activities that other schools provide. I like that it is a small school but if it provide more extracurricular activities it would have less of a dropout rate..Also I was enthused by the internship but that was mentioned during the orientation after that I haven't heard anything else about it. Also if this school could be hooked up with After School Matters that would be great.

My son is currently a junior at this school. I felt this school misrepresented it self toward incoming freshman particulary with its internship program.The school seemed unorganized in the beginning they scheduled classes that were not required now my son will have to take music and art in his senior year.It took two years to get a grade corrected.The school appears to be underfunded because there aren't many sports/extracurricula activities to choose from. The only good thing is the small student body therefore everyone knows everyone. The teachers do a pretty good job teaching. My son has fared well this school year.
