School Schedule
The school schedule was changed for the 2006-2007 school year, and now operates on a four-period per day schedule, known as the "Block Schedule". Students are enrolled in eight classes for the year. Some classes will meet daily for a semester, while other classes meet every other day. This schedule provides longer periods of instruction with fewer class changes than the previous schedule.
As of 2007 the school day begins at 7:30 and ends at 2:00, with each class meeting for approximately 88 minutes, and including a 5 minute class change in between classes. There are three different lunches (as of 2010) occurring during the 3rd period of each day, each lasting for 28 minutes.

“Parental attitudes have greater correlation with pupil achievement than material home circumstances or variations in school and classroom organization, instructional materials, and particular teaching practices.”
