| 5 This school is awesome. The teachers are nice, the students are nice. The best part is they offer many things for the child to do. Art, band, football, tennis, and so much more. This school is one of the best that i have been to and i am sad to be leaving it for high school. - Posted by Student/Alumni - babyg |
