School Reviews
| 2 School teaches to the middle. Nothing for your students if they are behind or above grade average. In general, staff puts little extra effort into keeping kids engaged and advancing students at every academic level. The exception are the few Master Teachers at the school. - Posted by Parent - sueca |
