School Reviews
5 5/17/2016
Great school, excellent academics. Unfortunately those grades come at the price of many students not attending art, music p.e. or library classes. The students spend their fine arts/p.e./library class time being tutored in other academics. I want my child to pass to the next grade as much as any other parent, but I don't like that he will miss out on opportunities in the fine arts provide. He will also miss out of p.e. and lots of kids have only that school time when they get exercise.
My child still gets an S on his report card even though I know he's not going to some of the classes. I don't understand that either.
