School Reviews
1 8/11/2021
Their teaching method was slow. Half the kids in my child''s fourth grade did not know how to read. My struggled in Math and did not receive extra help in that area nor did they tell me how far behind my child was in Math and writing. The teachers are nice but not very academic, but they have some different extracurricular activities.
