All Parents Students

Christine: My children went here. This school is amazing academically, and talent wise.

Submitted by a Parent on Apr 16, 2012

I currently attend this school, and have done so for about 3 years now and I would highly recommend it. Our school is very competitive academically and artistically. Our majors help us to excel in what we love and the teachers are always challenging us to do better. We are one of the top high schools and many Universities contact us usually around our Junior year to ask us to do summer programs at their school or to do interviews. Despite what many people say we may be in Nevada (whose funding in schools are 50th in the country or dead last) but many Universities are very interested in us due to our competitive nature in academics and the arts.
