I have a grand niece in that High School. It is actually a very good school academically. Thankfully she is now spending most of her senior year over at the local university taking advanced classes. And her parents decided to send her younger brother to the Catholic HS.
My pastor told me us that the current state of the public school system is one of the reasons why the parochial schools are still maintaining enough students despite the cost of tuition.
