School Reviews
3 5/9/2022
The teachers and staff are amazing here. The small class sizes and student-to-teacher ratios are perfect for this school. There are a lot of activities and great supervision. There are not a lot of extracurricular activities, which is the only downside, but it is made up for by the amount of in-school activities and the true caring nature that the teachers and staff have for the students at this amazing school.
