School Reviews

1 4/27/2020

Since the quarantine the school has been unhelpful in providing information to the students about homework, projects, etc. I use to truly value this school, but the lack of care from teachers and principal truly show the school's colors. Highly recommend looking at a different district. Perhaps one that actually cares about their students learning.
