<p>@faiths23 She entered as a freshman but one of her good friends entered from public as a junior. (met at LA) both have had a very positive experience. I think of it as a school for kids who want more than the public offers but stats wont get them into Phillips. It’s a very supportive atmosphere with strong community involvement. They encourage everyone to something new. Non skaters play JV girls hockey and have a blast. They have a great dance program and you can actually design your own class with the independent study option. I don’t know details of this, but something that sounds interesting. I think you really need to speak to someone at the school, rather than just look at the web site to understand the innovative programs they offer. </p>
