Student Ratings
Javier Arencibia Student at This School - Grad Year 2014
Many students call this school the 13th grade. I enrolled at the age of 29 and it did feel a little like High School. There are many students there with absolutely no direction; going to college because it's the thing to do. This school is an inexpensive alternative for the first 2 years of a 4 year school. It is good for purposes of transferring somewhere else.
