School Reviews
3 9/17/2020
The teachers and fellow students are nice, having gone there for 3 years a while back, but I feel the teachers don't try hard enough to captivate the minds of the students to make them want to learn. When I went there, I had been placed in the gifted class, known as horizons. Within that class the teacher was way more lax, and I felt like I could express my opinion without the teacher getting mad at me. The playground equipment within the school was average, nothing to note. Although the teachers sometimes got quite cranky, although that might be a southern thing. The punishment method for this school are Reflections, orange or blue (colour does not matter) sheets of paper asking you to fill out stuff like i''m sorry and I feel really bad I won't do it again and such. Overall, mediocre school.
