More than 20 Niche users have weighed in on the district, providing a variety of feedback and reviews.

"The teachers at this school are well-qualified and most are passionate in their field! Along with that, the school really prepares kids for college, especially in the English department," one reviewer wrote.

Another added: "The whole public school district has a very good academic curriculum that really helps students prepare for college and a professional career. The lack of diversity in the school district permeates into the way the administration handles career readiness. Since working class families aren't well represented in the district, the school doesn't well prepare students that aren't ready for a college future to enter a different job field such, as a trade. Teachers are well invested in each students' well being, for the most part."
