This school is great for most students. If you are trying to get a scholarship for sports or are extremely gifted, then I'd say stick with a large public school that can accomodate those things. Other wise, this school has small classrooms, a bunch of extracurricular clubs, and is set up to help students succeed in the real world, not just theoretical text book situations.
