Coming out of a "private school" with strict dress codes I find it refreshing to see the kids express themslves. I know for a fact, droopy drawers are NOT allowed. Other than that, I think the kids do a great job !

I have to agree. The only reason I didn't want my son to go was because of the dress code. He was accepted into Arvida but I was extremely hesitant to let him go. It is a wonderful school but the way the kids dress is shocking. We should vote again we need uniforms!

I think that it is a great school with only one major disadvantage: this school is not a uniform school. The way some of the students dress is atrocious. I feel that the students should have uniforms thus saving money to the parents and this would also be less distractions for the students themselves.
