School Reviews
1 10/10/2025
This school has not done a lot for students, students are not passing in each of their classes and do not get the help that they need to pass these classes in school some these students are falling classes because they are just on computer and get no help that they need to understand the class work or unit that they are doing in classes. These students are stressing over grades that they don't need to have. They don't have a great mindset if they are failing or don't have the greatest grades that doesn't have a great impact on the students here. Also, there are students who are failing and trying to get their grade up but can't because they are afraid to talk to their teacher they won't always have to do that if they could see what work they are missing. This school is not doing an effective job teaching and helping the students who are failing are just have lower grades in their classes.
