EXTREMELY tough competition for a seat in this tight-knit, K-12 school, particularly to start in ninth grade. Rigorous academics. Last year, 275 AP exams were given to 450 students. Hallways are named, like “Beethoven Lane” near the music department. Lots of travel – senior trip to Disney World, other trips to Spain, Italy and London. Air Force ROTC also travels. Offers many electives and competitive sports
