School Reviews
5 5/11/2018
We moved here just a few months ago. The area is academically minded; situated close to universities. The school staff is caring, teachers are productive, counselors handle matters swiftly, the education is competitive with other areas, states, and types of schools. Homework is minimal, so that does leave time for home studies and extracurricular studies. (Leaving aside there is always that one rude lady or kid in every school, lets be real.) Negatives are limited to a county-wide issues; of poor grounds care, limited parking, and the cafeteria could use a vendor/menu update. This school is attempting to keep up with technology, giving every child a computer, computer instruction, testing, and STEM activities.
