according to the reviews there is good and bad.

Excellent academic advancement particularly in the sciences and technology. Even it's detractors admit it. Good discipline(that could be bad depending on your point of view) Good facilities with a host of extracurricular activities.

On the other hand, food is definitely not to the liking of the students(pack their lunch) and there are some communication issues with the staff and student/parents.

The kids don't always seem to like but they *DO* adapt reasonably well.
