American School Foundation--Guadalajara

Does anyone have information on this school? Housing? What life is like in Guadalajara? Also, what "tier" would this school qualify as?
I don't work at the school but I know people who do and have been to the city a few times.
My friend likes it. I think the comps, for Mexico, are okay. The kids and the facilities are good. I know they are slowly transitioning to a one to one environment.
I really liked the city itself. Some decent museums and architecture. I think it is Mexicos third largest city at 5 million or somewhere in that neighborhood, so it's quite big. Great food, of course, and lots of nightlife. Large downtown. Chivas football is big, of course.
Nice weather, year round. A bit in the mountains, so it can be a bit chilly during winter, but nothing major. You can get to the coast in four hours or so, and many Guadalajarans do.
