School Reviews
4 11/1/2021
The school has wonderful and involved teaching with an above-average caring touch per student. The curriculum is very challenging (sometimes a little more difficult than necessary because some teachers don''t take the time to get the material across well enough for the kids to understand). The homework assignments are too overwhelming in time demands to get it all done in efficient and productive ways of retention. School leaders may need to discuss collaborative efforts to help on the at-home workloads for children to be rested enough to comprehend what they are teaching.
