Amazing school! Some issues with some of the teach erst but overall great!
2 10/10/2025
Great school! Some teachers are older and I don't agree with some of their curriculum! I would give them more stars if that was improved. My son has a substitute at least once a week in every subject, and they don't update grades regularly on Aspire. Other than those issues, it is a nice school.
