School Reviews
1 10/13/2020
Teachers give out grades. Students are not expected to learn anything; all they have to do is at school. Math teachers know their stuff, but can't relate it to the students. Both my children hated this place and left with a couple of months. This place is lacking a controlled atmosphere conducive to learning. Kids walk around, sit around, and do nothing until grades are needed. This place should be closed down for lack of student progress or else change their idea of what a good education is all about.
