School Reviews
4 4/7/2017
From my estimation and overall review of this school and several others, the students somewhat lack in one on one with their teachers, and that is of no fault to the teachers, for the teachers aren't the problem, the problem is the lack of teachers, therefore being that they have to many students for one teachers, knowing they have help with their aides is of great relief for the teacher, but still it must be hard on the teacher and even harder on the student. So they lack , (especially those students that need that extra help), that time they need with their teacher to help them more, because each teacher has to many students. Other then that the school review is great. Thank you for your time. And to all our teachers in Roswell, I commend all of you for the great jobs you do to help our children n grandchildren. Good job!!
