Amazing school! Academics are the main priority, as well as, The people there accept you no matter what race. We have white, Asian, Hispanic, black and everyone is loved and accepted.

More concerned with athletes than academics. No surprise, I guess. In this state we care more about sweaty guys throwing a ball than intelligence or the arts.

I would not recommend this school beause it is letting the math instructor off so easily reagarding how to shoot OBama. Secondly, when I looked at your ethnic mix, there is none. You are an all white school, obviously notoriously biased, and, because you have accepted this teacher's analogy without question or punishment, you are obviously fundamentalists of the first degree.
