School Reviews
4 5/19/2020
I would say that the school is good. I have personal problems but do not wish to declare them. I am a student in 8th grade, and from all the teachers I have had in my years here, I would say all of them are extremely supportive. They also don't accept students not doing their work or disobeying the rules.
