This school is a great school it is the best school I ever been in, but there might be more schools out there that are better than this school. All the students here work very hard and they also work on projects called Double IM. Also all the students are academically good, but also they help uganda make libaries and give books, this is because of the libarian who loves uganda and her name is Mrs. Marshall. So if you are looking for a school for your child this is the best school you can ever go to!
