School Reviews

5   3/16/2017
Rethink bringing your child here. There are no extracurricular activities offered, no creative programs, too little physical education classes, super strict curriculum; too much fundraising asked from children and none of that money is going into programs or support needed by kids at the school.Waste of time, money, and resources.
