The reviews highlight the school's unique academic environment, which is designed to promote hands-on learning and extracurricular activities. Author Axel Tinoco notes that the school is a Linked Pathway Learning School, where students are encouraged to participate in labs and activities rather than traditional classroom settings. The school's curriculum is also praised, with students taking college-level courses such as Anatomy and Physiology, World Health, Pre-Hospital Care, and Psychology.
School Environment and Community
While the school's academic environment is praised, the reviews also touch on the school's social atmosphere. Author Axel Tinoco notes that the school has a diverse student body, but does not comment on any issues with the community. Author Grace Foreman, on the other hand, criticizes the school's environment, stating that many students are rude and mean, and that favoritism is prevalent. She suggests that some teachers, staff, and students need to grow up.
