School Reviews
| 5 We are new to Peterson but, are very happy so far. The staff and teachers really care about the kids. Policies are followed for all which is wonderfull comming from a school that is very racial. The acadimies gives kids an oppertunity to learn skill otherwise no presented to them. There are honers programs. I only wish they had the duel enrollment for college programs. You can obtain a few college credits though. But we decided to stay and let our child enjoy the high school years instead of pushing so fast. You can still take college corses on line as well. - Posted by Parent - david |
