This school is great! There is a cafeteria, there're clubs that you can go to, and there are resource classrooms that you can take on during school. This is like the best school ever!

I'm going there this year and I went on field trips there and stuff and I'm pretty sure it's better than my school I mean atleast it has an actual cafeteria
2 7/1/2007
I am not happy with this school at all. The communication is poor. There is no a cafeteria available. There is not a web site to see what my kid has for homework while I'm working. The quality of the teaching is also no enough for the average kid.
