My son is happy there. It is challenging. We have friends who are happy at HG magnets. Unless you have already applied you have missed out but I will say they will make some 7th graders if space opens up. The families are strong.
Admission is very competitive and they have a specific, unknown criteria. The kids seem to be high achieving, well rounded, may or may not have HG status, high if not perfect CASSP scores, and score very highly on the homemade test.
Families are friendly, the kids are all hard working and general nice, teachers seem to enjoy their jobs.
This is our first time in a district school and the staff is overall responsive. It is a very large campus but the academy organization makes it feel smaller than it is.
Applicants vary form 300-700 for 70 or so seats.
