School Reviews
| 2 2019This middle school needs more after school programs for teens. Also, this school Quimby, has two schools inside it. One is called Lobo School and it has project based learning. The Lobo School which is smaller school does not use textbooks much and some are saying there is grade inflation, you will need to find that out. The teachers at this school need more monies to spend in their classrooms. Overall, much more parent involvement is needed in this school but you will need to form your own opinions. - Posted by Parent - Concerned Parent |
