The environment is very friendly and the administrators do their jobs. Schedules are flexible to some extent, and the requirement to stay in the school is manageable to any average student. It's clubs are also a handful and fun to participate in, as well as abundant. They provide community hours while building one's self esteem. The rewards to this school are also just as fun, such as "Dragon's Lair" and certain little incentives related to attendance and good grades. It even has a specific program for children to make up failed curriculum points called "Dragon Camp". The school itself (depending on your program) keeps students involved in city activities such as marathons or local shop held fund raisers. Such an example is this year's Super Bowl!
