School Reviews
2 6/2/2023
This is a Religious Christian school that recites bible verses. Taking public tax dollars for private religious education. I am not against religion being taught but it has its time and place in church(which they visit for the Christmas program and end-of-year awards). A class about religion would be acceptable if it included other than just Christian teaching.
