High school offers AP classes that are acceptable credits in universities in the US and are as academically rigorous as college courses

What advice would you give to someone considering enrolling their child in this school?

I think it's a great school, my children had a wonderful experience with their teachers and classmates. The class sizes are intimate and give the children a great sense of meaning and importance in their school in terms of both classes and the school as whole in terms of administration and faculty. I definetely think some of the reviews were negative and most of these comments are from my children themselves.
