I graduated from here a while back, and at the time it wasn't terrible. I was lucky to have a good group of friend that I made, as we were all fellow nerds/outcasts. Most of them, of course, were not in my class. I will say though that I did not really make friends with too many people in my own year. Most of them were too clichey or simply saw me as too strange to associate with on more than an acquaintance basis. Keep in mind that this school is in WASP territory, so anything that's not a polo shirt and khaki shorts is seen as odd.
Teachers for the most part were decent. They appreciate students who pay attention and don't text during class. As long as you show general interest and treat them like human beings you should be fine. I highly recommend joining clubs that have a class attached to them - I was in the Model UN club, and we had an Internation Relation class that was basically our study time.
The art department was great when I was there. They really appreciate enthusiasm. And for Christ's sake, don't take Art 101 if you want an easy A - there are a LOT of students who really want the class to take other art classes and you're just taking up the space...
If you come here ready to learn and not screw around, you should be fine. As long as you don't mind not having not a lot of close friends....
