Project compass is an amazing school! I have attended project compass for what is about to be two years and I can honestly say I love it. All the teachers and staff really care for the students. It's an amazing environment! Everyone is so close we're like one big family! The teachers are wonderful! They work with every student 1 on 1 to know what they need in order to succeed.
