Relatively small school in the southeast; all kids who attend have a parent actively serving in the military. Located in a Diverse, probably 50-60% white, 20-30% black, 10-20% Hispanic, handful of Pacific Islanders, almost no Asians. Due to the nature of our school, kids move in and out very frequently - only about 30% of our graduating class attended our school as a freshman. Many kids have attended three or four high schools by the time they are a senior here.

Most kids are involved with the military after graduation, more than half probably. Some enter right after graduation, others go to college and enter their ROTC programs. Some don’t go to college at all, and those that do usually go to community college or one of our state schools. Kids don’t really go to top schools here. Excluding service academies which we’ve had several acceptances over the past decade, we usually only have one or two kids every three years or so that go to a top 20 school.
